I spent many happy hours this morning, travelling back in time. Sitting surrounded by old photo albums. Reminiscing childhood. And awkward adolescence.
Pictures of grandparents, and my great grandmother, all of whom now long gone.
My sister and I, always dressed in identical clothes; our hair adorned in ribbon bows; my hair in a curly mess; hers, dead straight.
Each birthday identical: standing at a low coffee table, knife in hand poised to cut through the iced cake in front, surrounded by sisters, cousins and friends.
Images from school. White uniforms, green ties. Laughing friends.
Family holidays.
Numerous photos of me sleeping with a book in hand.
Looking back at how time has changed me.
Using the photos to tell my children stories of my life and of family ties.

And just think...one day your children will do the same. And, all your juggling will have paid off! Focus on the good moments and let the rest go.
Can we see a birthday photo?
love looking through old albums - have a beautiful weekend
How odd that several of us are reminiscing this week. Beautiful flowers!!
Wow, I spent a lot of time going through old photos of my pets! What a coincidence.

I remember time spent going through old photos. I wonder if it will be the same now that everything's on the computer?
Oh I always love to sink back into these wonderful memories. Do you also get every sound and smell back with them like I do?
Happy Weekend.
