Another year of life is coming to a close this month, and I don’t even have time to catalog it. Sorting through the last of my boxes and bins the past few days, I discovered tons of scrap booking materials, along with many packages of photos not yet put in pictures books. I also found basket weaving, soap making, and various other craft supplies, and I wondered, “How did I ever have time to do all this?” Life changes quickly sometimes as my mom always says, and boy did it! All of a sudden the photo albums of my boys just stop, and I don’t even remember what was happening that year when I no longer had time to devote to it, and since then, we have gone to all digital photos, and I don’t even print them out anymore. At any rate, I decided to pass on the craft making kits to someone who could use them a lot more than me, but I held onto all the scrap booking materials and placed the albums and photos in a prominent storage location near the vacuum (which, hopefully, I will be using frequently), so I can get back to that someday. Photos are the one thing, besides writing, that captures life at the moment, including all the feelings, trends, youth, and age, and that brings back the memories of that very day, and that’s something I don’t want to leave behind in last year, but preserve for the future and for my family.
