A picture is worth a thousand words

There is certainly truth to this statement:  A picture is worth a thousand words. I know because I have viewed several thousand “words” over the past several months! ;-) Interesting revelations, affirmations and hidden sorrows revealed in the process of sorting family photos.

The image of merely one photo can trigger memories of the day it was captured on film — the people and places involved … The emotions of that moment in time. The process of organizing photographs and a walk down memory lane can also inspire forgiveness, and gift one with closure. It can introduce one to the process of  “Letting Go and Holding On” at the same time.

The seasons of Life change and introduce us to new seasons … Of growth, of pruning and of harvest.

Photographs, journal entries and other “documentation” invite us to remember, to heal and to simply smile about the roller coaster adventures of Life. This can even be a click through an electronic memory lane, such as “Spring Cleaning Blog-Style” describes. Or “A Blast From the Past” can breeze by and take us back, only to deliver us more securely committed to the future! ;-)
