“Remembering the past can give hope to the future.” (author unknown)

Memories serve a valuable purpose, especially when we are uncertain about what lies ahead of us.  Remembering past events have a way of making the present more substantial. It helps us to realize the who, what, where, why and how of being where we are at any given moment.  Somehow that knowledge helps to propel us into the future filled with the hope that what we set out to do is attainable.

Peace and love,

Felecia
