MEMORY -
I can honestly say that Peter owned some cool little nicknacks. He collected a bunch of them throughout his travels. He had a collection of figurines, unique boxes and books. I remember as a child, I would play with the figurines and build my own little fantasy world. My favorite were the buffalo, the robot and the "thinking man"statue. As I grew older, the nicknacks received less and less attention. They collected dust and sat un moved for many years to come. I might have outgrown them, but each one still held great meaning to my Pete. I am sure my titling of "nicknacks" is an understatement, as for Peter they were tangible memories that did more than just collect dust, but they told stories.
APPLICATION-
Today was spent practicing at a student's house. I caught sight of a shelving unit that held a bunch of little clocks, each one different from the other. It made me think of Pete's collection of nicknacks.
REFLECTION-
It's not what the nicknacks do, it's the story behind them that matters. If you are in a special place and purchase a nicknack, don't hide it away. Leave it out to be seen. Good memories are most enjoyed when thought about often.
