Creating Happy Memories

Happy Hump Night my Happy clan!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday!  Mine was really nice - really busy but really nice.  The best part of the day was tonight though.  We got to sit down and relax and watch an old school classic, Better Off Dead.  Matt had never seen it before and, thanks to my awesome buddy from work for lending it to us, he finally got to watch it - and he loved it, of course!

What is it about old school movies that just put the greatest smile on our faces?  And the most loving tears in our eyes?  It's not just the awesome story lines that, in your own bizarre way, you connect so perfectly with.  It's not just the corny love story that proved love was found in the strangest of places sometimes.  It's not just the quotable lines that you can always manage to throw in to any conversation.  It's the memories that are connected to these movies.  And every time you watch these movies with someone new, you get the opportunity to create new memories, like I did tonight!!

Which brings me to your Happy for tonight.  Tonight's Happy is the poem/song called The Way We Were.  This poem/song also comes from an old classic movie that I could watch over and over again as well, Big:

Memories, light the corners of my mindMisty water color memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we? Could we?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.

I hope this brought a smile to your face, either as you are falling asleep or waking up to a new day (since I'm so slow at posting lately).  Either way, enjoy!!  Until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
