This past Memorial Day weekend the kids and I had a good time hanging out in downtown DC. We did a little bit of everything....checked out the Holocaust Museum, took bike rides past the white house and various memorials, went shopping in Georgetown, ate outside at one of our favorite Thai restaurants, watched movies and had lots of fun creating memories...see for yourself.
But before you check out my memories I want you to know that positive memories can last a life time and not so pleasant memories can fade with time. You just have to realize how much control you have over the effects and outcome of memories. Don't get stuck on those memories and things of the past that bring about ill feelings and you wish hadn't happened. Put forth your efforts in creating new memories that will overshadow the things you'd rather forget about and sooner than later those ugly memories will become a thing of the past, a lesson learned, a trial, a moment and the new and pleasant memories will be your motivation, your saving grace, your everything. To that end, don't be deterred by those people who try their best to remind you of memories of the past and keep you from moving forward and being happy b/c they themselves refuse to let go and move away from the same hurt that you no longer want to be a part of. Keep pressing, keep erasing, and keep creating where you see fit. If they haven't figured out that they have the power to move on or can't deal with the fact that you are happy and moving forward, then that's on them. Happy memories.
