Finding Old Memories

 

 

.

I’ve had some success at shaking loose old memories,
From that wrinkled old brain residing inside of me.
Here are some of the techniques I’ve used on my way,
You might even want to give some of them a try someday.

Finding Old Memories

 

 

.

Scanning photo albums is a good method I’ve found,
To bring back old memories that have gone underground.
As we scan through, those old memories begin to stir,
And new blog material in my brain does then occur.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

In the past before we had photo storage on the cloud,
We had our home computer storing all our photo crowd.
But we had two of the hard drives fail losing our photos,
Storing years of memories forever lost  for the Lows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

I found as I looked for memories from my old past,
In those days when technology was not the very best,
We put all our photos in books that we filed on the shelf,
And my coverage of the old days is best for myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

There are lots of old memories in things from past family,
Stored in metal boxes and trunks not too easy to see.
You can bring these old memories to life once again,
By digging through and taking lots of photos of them.

Pam always kept keepsakes from our old family life,
Stashed in boxes and drawers that gave me some strife,
But I’m glad now she kept all those things from the past,
As they do bring back lots of good memories so fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

We lived our active lives having so much of that fun,
Always going places and doing things at a fast run.
Those times when we got that “natural high” so fine,
Are etched deep in my mind until the end of my time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

These experiences made memories that are very fine.
That are easy to recall as we love to relive those times.
I think these are the times that are easiest to write about,
With out much recall effort at all, there is no doubt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Those things that stirred our emotions so very deep,
Are very easy to recall as memories we want to keep.
So when we were “feeling the feeling” so very nice,
We wanted it then to happen again for more life spice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

I think there’s a place inside our minds for scary experiences,
That can be shaken loose by a new type of recall science,
Called “high adrenalin spike un-wrinkling area stimulation”,
Allowing me to recall many of my past scary situations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

These type recollections are perhaps easiest of them all,
Because those hair raising experiences we do recall,
Make an impact that we want to avoid in the future,
So we keep them handy to be safe in our lives for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

The thought of getting Alzheimer’s scares me so much,
What if when I looked to recall old memories and such,
There was nothing left in my brain I could then recall,
Without old memories, my life would be worth nothing at all.

Hey Chad: I saw your note on Facebook the other day. To read the blogs about your Dad, go to the “Catagories” block up near the top herein on the right, and hit the white arrow. When the Catagories list comes up, pull it down to  “BuffaloBobBook” and hit it,  it will bring them all up in abbreviated form. Read what you want by hitting “continue reading” on each one you want to read.
