My passion is gathering memories… it’s probably an addiction too, but hopefully in a good way.

I like to record my life, ever since I was a teenager I have it all collated in books, photos, negatives, films & video. My camera and I soaking it all up, enjoying the process of capturing moments and saving them for years to come.

I re-discovered this clip yesterday (I thought I’d lost it, but that’s a whole other story)… it blew my mind in so many ways, I may have even shed a tear… yes I’m a sentimental at heart.

It’s Ky our eldest at about 16 months and he loved talk. I’m reminded of how he used to repeat the same word over and over till you acknowledged it…. Also, I’m instantly transported back to our garden in Thailand, and this is pretty special.

This is a memory gold. And I’m holding on to it tightly.

{A little cruel I know to leave him that long repeating the same word, but that’s what it was like… and you know what, he’s still the same!}

Record your moments, gather them up and hold on to them… and if you can’t do it, ask someone else to take photos for you and record this time in your life. You see it goes by so fast, and yes, we have the memories in our head, but if you’re anything like me, I can bearly remember what I had for dinner yesterday.

I’ve lately been visualising myself in ten years time, but today I’m grateful to look back 10 years and see all that there is to be thankful for.
