Re: Memory Lane

There is a Genesis called Home by the Sea, and, I think it sums up Memory Lane perfectly.

Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
Waiting for the morning light
Scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame
Things that go to make up a life

Re: Memory Lane

I agree Annie - L P Hartley got that absolutely right - I rarely venture down memory lane, I prefer the present to the past. I find aspects of the past too upsetting to think about - it is indeed a 'foreign country'.

Re: Memory Lane

I like that Spitty, very thought provoking...

Re: Memory Lane

I'm just listening to Oh what a night by the four seasons and it has brought floods of memories of my youth, wonderful memories.

Re: Memory Lane

I try to live in the moment , or one day at a time now , the past has been joyous and painful , i hope the future is more joyous.

Re: Memory Lane

Lots of things give me memories of times gone by, pop songs & photo's mostly. I love to reminisce, probably not good to dwell on the past though, after all it is long time ago.

Re: Memory Lane

I have embraced memory lane today.
I was going through some of my Godmothers things.
I found photos of relatives, I have never met, they died before I was born.
I could see me in the faces.

Re: Memory Lane

That is scary stuff, been there, the suitcase of passage remains firmly locked, but, some folks have no suitcase to resent, such is life.

Re: Memory Lane

True, but I love family history. Photos of relatives I have only vaguely heard of.
I got to see the photos!!! I am blessed.

Re: Memory Lane

I love that song. It holds memories for me too..... 'Ere, it wasn't you was it?
