| Priceless memories - treasure them for ever |
|
Have you ever come across an old ticket stub that brought back memories of a long-gone concert? Or an old school  photo? Or perhaps the printout of your highest ever bowling score? They’re of no value to anyone else, but the memories they bring back to you are priceless.
And memories matter. It makes us smile to remember good times with our friends and family. It’s good to look back on precious times with our loved one who are still with us, or now gone. One idea to help you treasure your memories is to start a ‘treasure box.’ You can do this for your marriage, parents, children, or a more general treasure box – with treasures from key moments in your life, and the lives of those you love. So, a treasure box for a son or daughter could contain a few special mementoes from each year of their childhood: their prenatal scan, that first hospital wristband, a wobbly drawing of Mum, the first tooth, a special holiday photo, the very first valentine. In time, your children will just love the chance to look through the box with you. Not only is it a priceless walk down memory lane for you, but it also tells them just how much you cherish them as an individual. Another Great Idea Start a ‘quotation book’ where you write down the funny things your children say. Most children love hearing stories of when they were small. And you can get it out to enjoy together on a rainy day. |
