Sometimes I will be driving and a song will play on the radio or I will pass a location and it will trigger a memory. Not sure if any of you have ever had something like that happen to you. It could be a good memory or a bad one. One that you want to hold on to and cherish or one that you wish would go away and never come back.

This is why I spent so much time back in the day traveling and partying. It’s experiences that I wanted. I figured the things would come after. I created some fantastic memories which will live on with me. When I get to the stage where the body says sit and rest I will look back on those memories and say job well done. I would be able to look back and say with certainty I lived my life not that I should have lived my life, just as my parents told me. Granted that might have been the only time I truly listened to them 🤣.

I try to make as many great memories as possible, that’s why I don’t do drama. I don’t deal with negativity and I stay as far away as I can from negative people. I want memories that warm the heart and make me smile. I focus on the good. Why focus on the negative? It only makes you feel like crap. That’s not a great feeling.

When I was pregnant with both my kids I was horribly sick. I mean really sick but when I look at them that’s not what I remember. I remember the first time I held them. The first time they snuggled up to me trying to feed. That’s what I see, nothing else. Yes my parents are dead but I look at the fact that they were there for me and I have fantastic memories that no one can take those away from me. Why focus on the negative, it gets me no where fast.

I have been trying and not doing too badly in seeing the good in things and if it’s not what can I do to get me to that place. It doesn’t mean I bury my head in the sand like an ostrich, it just means that I choose not to focus on certain things as they spew negative thoughts which messes with what I want to keep as my memories.

Let me know what you think. What are the best memories you have? How do you keep the horrible ones at bay? Do you want to keep them away or are you one that focus on the negative and then wonder why your life is always filled with drama and negativity?

I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉.

Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife.
