Memorizing Special Moments
Nov. 24th, 2018 10:50 amThanksgiving was so nice; I think I'll do it twice. That Bill Miller dressing was particularly delicious this year. I definitely don't want to see that go to waste. And we do have that extra little turkey. I'd rather not hear Pop's complaints about that wastage. It's only once a year. Considering the wretched nature of my diet, I shouldn't be complaining about a good, full meal, and I'm not. It won't be as delightful as Thursday, but it easily beats another round of baked barbecue-sauced chicken.

To think, I intended to clean my shower this morning. Hahahahaha!! Instead, I got into another project, another memorization exercise. This time I want to memorize my absolutely most favorite journal entries. This morning I worked on a dream from 2003 about Teri and all those baby trees she planted in our back yard. In the dream, she revealed that she knows what she is doing: she decorated all the baby trees with Christmas lights, and she flips on a switch to show me, "and I am awed by the breathtakingly beautiful display of bright lights strung through all the little trees." I thought it would be nice to have entries like this fully internalized through memorization - to have my most special moments made a much more conscious part of my life, instead of being lost somewhere in the deep,dark forest of the subconscious.
