"your life should be a TV show", and "I am so glad to be your blog sister...I liked you from the very first post I read..
you are wonderful to read...so kind and sensible too..." - Suz (http://beginagain.blogspot.com) AND It is so easy falling in love with you..and you make me stay and want more! :) Chiccoreal [http://logb-chiccoreal.blogspot.com/]
the past is always the basis of the present..
sad that we sometimes let
our old family pictures,
our family portraits
sit and hang where
they cannot be seen...
Yes! This past week I've been enlarging and framing such family photos for what will be my "family" wall at home. The photos absolutely speak of my family, and speak to the past which is so obvious in Tess's photo.
..certainly true facts Jj... true facts of being buried in time for many years... harsh, isn't it??? thanks for the poem...'tis short and simple yet it volumes... keep the muse alive.(:
@ Kelvin, again you made me feel good with what i'm doing. thanks!
@Vicki Lane, that's good to know. it will always remind you of who and where you are from... love it... as soon as i have my own place, that will be part of my home...
@ Kathe W, thank you for the appreciation.
@ Friko, thanks for that.
and for you guys, THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY BLOG... your visit drives me more to continue trying.
The photos do speak of our families, our roots. We have some on display, but our relatives kept so many! ...far too many to display, and I'm worse about keeping too many.
It's amazing to me that the Lord God knows all of us, all of our families, all of our years, all of our generations.
wow! my first ever Palaweno Comment... i love that... he/she mentioned: it is just right that we need to hang our elders pic so we can continue remember them... again, thank you very much!
I love the idea of photos that "speak of our family." It's so true!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sioux!...
