a trip down memory lane...

In searching for a computer cable that I was sure I still had somewhere, I came across a small box of keepsakes.  An unfamiliar eye would chalk it up to some old photos and torn ticket stubs, but after combing through it for half an hour, I realized that it sums up the last decade of my life rather well, and it was a nice trip down memory lane.

Sometimes, I think we focus so much on the most recent or most common struggle that we are facing and forget to step back and survey our life as a whole.  That is of course, how we live it, one moment to the next, but if we never stop to sit and take a look back, we miss out on the opportunity to relive those wonderful (and sometimes painful) moments that brought us to where we are today.

I definitely recommend sitting down with a box of 'stuff' or those photos you always meant to get organized, and relive the past for a couple of minutes.  I guarantee, it'll lift your spirits and give you a little kick to make some new memories that you can look back on years from now.
