Do you enjoy looking back and sharing your memories? Beautiful places, Powerful Music, Achieved Goals, Time with Loved Ones, etc. Having these precious memories to look back to in your golden years is a plus

and these are gems you could treasure forever. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.

I saw my sister and niece last Friday, and we started reminiscing with my dad about when we had first moved to the house he lives in now. A lot of things that had happened early on were brought up in conversation, including stories my niece had never heard about since it involved my mother (her grandmother) who is now in Heaven. My dad's new wife was also there, and we shared stories about unusual happenings in the neighborhood from 20 years ago that she had no clue about. Neighbors she knew now, used to be different when me, my dad, and mom first moved in. So she got some amusing stories from us.

Time like these are precious and we need them to let other family members know or friends know about momentous events that occurred in our lives.

I do enjoy looking back my good memories. I love looking at old pictures, and re-read old conversations. It somehow give me such warm feeling, and remind me of how grateful I am to have someone in my life.

Yeah, I often share my unique experience with BTS even in my old age and some of my relatives just smile, but almost all of my grandkids understand me. They are ARMYs. What you said about re-reading conversations/letters is a great way to feel the joy once again. touche.

@happylearner I love them all but my bias is JK and my bias wrecker is J-Hope. But I support all their activities.

@Jenaisle What a cool kids! anyway i'm a bit wonder. Who is your bias in BTS? Is there a specific person? Or do you like all of them? My top love language are quality time and words of affirmation. I guess that's reason why I love re-reading old conversation.

There are times that I would like to reminisce many things through pictures and music that reminds me of something I did in the past that recalls good memories. But I do not do that all the time.

@Jenaisle That is correct. I do not want to be stuck in the past. But there are times looking back could help you move smoothly to the future.

Memories are fine but honestly I prefer just living and creating new ones, I am 73 and too many of my memories involve people and pets that have passed away a long time ago.

I love reminiscing about my childhood mostly now I am in my late fifties. I love sharing them when the person I am talking with won't get bored. I love my childhood, teenage, and adult years. I had a wonderful past when I was growing up, I won't forget all about it. I love thinking about it and I won't stop. If only I could go back to my childhood again.

I could see that you have had good happenings in your past. Sharing them would make others happier as well, and they could also learn from it.

@LindaOHio You ought to be congratulated. Being married for so long is not a joke. I'm sure there were many challenges along the way, but you were able to overcome them. Reminiscing these moments would be a great way for you and your husband to relish these valuable memories. I am so proud of you.
