If you're gathering with family during the holidays or even if you're just out and about where the celebration of the season is evident, your senses may be in heightened arousal mode as you are assaulted with the sounds, smells, sights, and other stimulants that cry out "Christmas!".
This is a time when our senses might be tapping into our past. Wherever you may be during this holiday time it's good to stay on special sensory alert. Make connections with your memory as the senses are bombarded. Hopefully the memories are happy ones, though undoubtedly some may be wistful or even sad. Take them in. They're all part of the story of life.
I've made some clear attempts at cementing the highlights of this season to my memory banks. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Arlee,
ReplyDeleteNice to be here again,
A great reminder, indeed this is a great idea! looking back to the memories of the past is surely a good thought. I am sure everyone can bring out some pleasant memories from their past life.
Arlee, I think this post is a kind of reminder to your previous post, which i just missed and in my opinion it is better to give the link of your previous post here in this post so that people who missed it can concentrate on the points or tips you mentioned there. http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.in/2013/12/christmas-time-for-memoir-research.html
Have a Happy and Blessed Weekend and happy holidays.
Best
Phil
