Throwback Thursday: some of your happiest memories? #TBT

It's Thursday!

giphy

I just learned this week that a former work colleague lost her 16 year old daughter in a horrible car accident in Iceland. A reminder of how quickly events and situations in this life can change. A reminder for us to cherish the time we have together with family and loved ones. A reminder to not take life and loved ones for granted.

So today, I want us to focus on positive and happy memories. What are some of your happiest memories you feel comfortable sharing?

Let’s make it a greatful Thursday!

Hi @Kristján Geir Mathiesen

I would not have to think long about this one, mate. Just this morning my young daughter made me come back out to the car to say bye. Then again. And then one more time before she left for nursery. It is such a small thing, but it is the kind of moment that stays with you. Thank you for the reminder that these are the ones worth holding on to, and my thoughts are with your former colleague and her family.

Cheers, Martin

Hi @Kristján Geir Mathiesen

we got a friend that is totally into some Instagram account that shows a stuffed squirrel dancing to music in front of a window. Everytime our friend sees those videos she is instantly happy even while going through some rough times. She tells me all the time: "This makes me so happy"

At her last birthday we spent multiple days trying to find that stuffed animal and we succeeded. When she unpacked it she went through all happy moods at once. She almost cried, hopped up and down happily, took it into her arms, giggled, smiled and said "thank you" all the time. Others might see a stuffed animal but for her it is a constant reminder of her happy place.

My Graduation day at College - being handed my Bachelors Degree by Dr. John MacArthur at Masters - and my Parents witnessing it in the audience.

Big moment for me in-spite of cost and other factors.

 

Also my condolences - my Father passed away a few years ago - still feeling it even today.

Sending some love out into the universe for your friend. I can't imagine what a profound loss this must be for the family and friends. It certainly reminds me to give my loved ones an extra hug and some extra love today. 💜
