Sometimes we forget what we have because of what we want

Our brains are spilling over with memories. We live rich and full lives by extraordinary means and measures available today. We only need the slightest reminder to reboot the memory of days gone by. Photos do this in the most tender, remarkable way. Small memories ignited by the spark of recollection, a dash of color and a smile in one captured moment. It comes flooding back like a tidal wave. These are my memories - some of the very best. They make me laugh. I ache a little for things I lost on the way. I fill up with things I hold dear. Sometimes we forget what we have, because of what we want. These are memories.
