If we spend all of our time focusing upon ourselves, do we really have any memories? I like what you have said about making more good memories. That is a great statement. Helping others not only gives us great memories and stories to tell, but think about how it affects those who we have helped. I can bet they remember! If all we do is focus our time for what we want to do, time becomes a casualty of our selfishness. However, if we allow our time to be used for others by giving it away, not only are we helping people, but we are creating great memories for everyone involved.

It sounds silly but the older you get,time seems to speed up. I know from experience that some things that I remember the easiest is when I had actually helped someone do something that they needed help with. Two of these times that I can recall was helping people that I had never met before. I was in Fredricktown Mo. and I heard this lady on the c.b. radio asking for help to change a flat tire,she was several miles up the highway so I was pretty sure that someone would stop and help her before I got there.When I got closer I realized that no one was going to stop and help her. I stopped and changed her flat tire,she was an elderly lady driving an older model pickup truck.I suppose that if she had been a pretty young gal she would have had more help than she needed. Another time that I recall is very similar to that lady, except she didn't have a c.b. radio. Stranded at the end of an on ramp on highway 44 just out of Rolla Mo. I was on the way back from deer hunting with my uncle and he laughed when I slowed down to stop. He said I guess if you want to stop and help her I will help you. Both lady's appreciated the little bit of time that was spent helping them out. I would imagine that if I had taken money for my time and labor that these memories would not mean so much. Remembering helping Diana move or helping Leroy get his new business going. Remembering helping Bobby when he called from Columbia Mo.,when his muffler fell off his car in the highway. I can't recall anything in the past that I "had to do",that was more important when someone needed help. Kinda funny,if it had been real important you would think that I would rememer that also,wouldn't you. If all we have to remember when we get older is things that we have done to help someone,then some of us may have very few memories. Just think when we get older,memories may be all we have left,Good or Bad. I had better get to work and make more good memories, it could be rough just remembering only a few things wouldn't it.
