What are we without our memories?
From my Pinterest Board.
This blog is my space for playing with words and arranging them in any which way I please. As long as I am satisfied with my attempts at storytelling with pictures and words, I am at peace. Here I write about the journey of my life; thoughts, feelings, experiences, short stories, poetry, and my best friends – books.
The tagline echoes my sentiments about memories being the most important treasure in my life.
We live because we remember. Memories are precious, treasure them.
My treasure is the bottomless trunk of memories I have in my heart. These priceless nuggets of bitter sweet moments give me strength to move on in life. Some days my eyes well up thinking about my loved ones who have gone away to another realm but then I remember the love and affection they showered on me while they were with me in their physical forms. This gives me comfort and the will to continue on my journey, collecting blessings and good wishes of all those I come in contact with along the way. The love of my family keeps me strong .The friends I’ve made and the ones I am yet to meet also add to my treasure and will continue adding value and joy to my life.
There are endless moments in my treasure chest to keep me company. One of them is this post I’d written a long time ago. Lingering Scent is a treasured memory whose fragrance continues to linger in my soul.

Quite agree with your take on the prompt Su – memories are priceless and a life long treasure always! 🙂
Thanks, Shalini. We keep the moments safe in our hearts and take them out when we need their warmth.
Memories are truly our greatest treasure…irreplaceable and constant.
Apeksha, welcome to my blog. We all think alike.
Memories keeps us alive and takes us forward. Truly priceless.
Thanks, Sheethalsusan.
So true. In tough times, the memory of good times from the past often get us through.
Definitely been that way for me.

Roshan, we all have our coping mechanisms:) I think writers are a little bit more sensitive 🙂
Quite a few moments in my treasure chest too, Sulekha. 🙂 Some I take out fondly and recollect, others bring back some nostalgia.
Vinay, we should all do a post on memories. Nostalgia is both a friend and foe.
Our memories are truly priceless! Loved your take on the prompt!
Love your handle, Modern Gypsy:)
What a beautiful take on the prompt, and truly so! 🙂 Memories make us!
Zainab, welcome to my blog and thank you for your lovely comment.
Oh yes, memories. The walk down nostalgia road. Sometimes they do bring an occasional regret.
Bhavya, this walk is a bittersweet one 🙂
I was going to write on this too…well, for me too, memories are a very treasured part of life! I love sifting through them and picking up random memories to remember on certain special days! Lovely take on the prompt for Day 1!
Esha,we need them to keep us going. Some teach us while others inspire.
Oh yes, memories are the timeless treasures of the heart. Some of them warm you up from the inside and some can tear you apart too.
Again we wrote about the same thing!! :))
Shilpa, we are kindred spirits 🙂 loved your take.
Oh Yes! what are we without memories! Life would become boring if we did not have memories right. taking good memories along and trying to leave some bad ones behind is the true mindgame we go through throughout our lives.
Menaka, you are right. These are some mind games 🙂
Memories are priceless. Sometimes I wish I’d paid more attention to the smaller things growing up
Sanch, the one that matter stay in your mind forever.
Sometimes memories are not the best of treasures. Along with the gems and gold coins, comes the mud and weed.
True that. We wash away the mud and clear out the weeds, keeping the treasure we truly cherish. We learn to cope with the ups and downs in life.
