Free to visit

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Hello, 👋 yes I’m back again. I didn’t think I would be, you see I didn’t see the point, I tell you what I’m thinking, and well that’s boring for anyone to read. I lost myself for a while I guess we all do some more than others, me I get lost from my bedroom to the bathroom in the night. Yes I am that bad. Anyway I saw this prompt about my favourite place I have visited and well this is a perfect time of year to tell you about it.

So, first thing it’s free to visit, thank goodness as I have been there so many times. I find there is something to cover every subject. Hope, love, friendship, family, maybe today I am seeing the brighter side, because if you stay to longer it can be exhausting. Same can be said of anywhere I guess.

You can visit alone or with family or friends, or a group of people depending on what interests they have.

By now you are going Ohhh I know, and so you might but when I revisit old memories or picture albums or even photos in this digital age I don’t look back with regret I look back with happiness that the moment happened, everyone of those revisited moments good or bad has led to this moment now. I may not be doing what I had intended but my children are adults and doing well.

I visit my memories and photographs often to remind myself, how lucky I have been to have survived the D/V I went through, the endless moving to protect my children, the disability and loss of everything home, family and friends.

The one thing I have is that perfect place I can visit Memories whether down Photograph Lane, tucked away in Corner of My Mind or Digital Parade. I have three favourite places all connected that I can share or not, places that everyone should visit with the same thought-

Memories are a snapshot from behind us.

They form who we have become, our love, our trust.

My memories cause me to laugh at what I’m wearing

Then sometimes a little tear spills, see I can still be caring.

I disappear into the vaults of yesteryear for five minutes.

Then find I have been there for hours, so let’s wing it.

People who have left this world, I see their smiling faces.

My babies all grown ups and having all their own places.

So ask me once again do I have a favourite place to visit?

My answer is yes, the past where all my photos tell a story a perfect place to visit..

Ah I Remember

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Hello again

Yes I’m back, I didn’t go far, you must have known I wouldn’t just leave without saying a final Bon voyage.

Anyway as I was strolling through this day, metaphorically that is, it struck me that New Years Eve has never held big plans for me. I may have been out a few times (counted on one hand) but that is it, it is not a special night for me, so here I am sat thinking about the year that is ending and all the years prior.

I have music playing I raise a silent glass to 2024’ a year that I am pleased to see end and realise that it’s music that makes me nostalgic. Music invokes memories from places , people, occasions, happy and sad.

So that explains why music plays so heavily on my mood with the happy and sad emotions even laughter.

Just between us because after all we are friends, another thing that pulls my heartstrings on the nostalgia scale is a scruffy grubby almost threadbare Rabbit, he has been my companion since I was born and he sits in my room away from grandchildren, He is an old bunny now at 58 (delicate) he makes me think of all the tears and secrets he holds from my life. I wouldn’t share this with just anyone, but we are friends now don’t you think.

My Sweet Bunny

So not to bore you any further, I shall bid you goodnight and I will be back. As if I could abandon you

Wishing you the healthiest and most peaceful New Year, may you receive what you are working hard for.

Till next time

Kim
