Memories

Memories.
You can select one, re live it, and then replace it in your minds eye for another day. Life without these happy blessings would be so pointless.

If you want to participate in general chitchat about your thread - my question would be - if life without these happy blessings is pointless, what about people with memory problems?

You don't understand a couple of simple sentences, surely not.

and I thought I was good at complicating things.

Simon....lovely words, for me the not understanding is, do you wish us to chat happy memories or just agree we're pleased we've got them?

I see what you mean........I suppose we all do it all the time anyway......I was average at football as a kid but we played a match at college. It's a bit random but I fondly remember my best ever playing moment.

I was on the edge of the 18 yrd box with the ball. I remember I defender hurtling towards me then sliding to take me out. I chipped the ball into the top corner of the net and skipped over the oncoming missile like a freakin ballerina as he slid underneath me.......wonderful memory.........one of many.

I suppose that most of the best ones are too personal to share......but yes it can make you happy to recall.....in fact I am now in a really good frame of mind forvthecday so thanks Simon!

IF we have got them, that is...

[simoncpg]

I would say it must be very hard for them.

I would say it must be very hard for them.

But not pointless.

Why profound?. The forum is for anything non GRO.

I considered that saying your quote was profound was a compliment. If you choose to argue with that that is your prerogative. I have too many happy memories to spoil my life with disagreement.

Perhaps you could explain what the initials GRO stand for please. I can only think of General Register Office.

Thankyou for that, I thought for a moment, when I was reading the replies that I was typing in Arabic or something. This is supposed to be anything non GYO. You have it in a nutshell so to speak.

Just because the words are in English/non GYO, doesn't mean that they make sense written in any particular order.

[simoncpg]

For me yes, pointless. But I took the passage from a story, and felt I would put it on here.

[simoncpg]

Thet dont make sense now. Well im sorry.

You (we) write as you (we) speak, or think, Simon. In your own head it makes perfect sense, but when put in print it is (sometimes, perhaps) confusing.

Written English needs a bit of punctuation, context etc

Was your quote taken directly from the text, or has it been filtered through your own mind first? Just wondering, that's all

[zazen999]

For me yes, pointless. But I took the passage from a story, and felt I would put it on here.

Just exploring this a little; if you lost your memory, how would you know you had lost it?
