I remember when it appeared that the days were longer, sunnier and fuller with laughter. I remember when front doors were open to all when there was no fear of unwelcomed visitors. I remember when it seemed that all items that we needed were not so expensive and at the same time far superior. Is my memory true or am I just wishing to remember things as I want them to be? It does not matter because perhaps the best thing that I can do today is to create memories that survive the test of time. Let us remember the actions of love, compassion and understanding, now those are really worth remembering.
