I've always felt so lame making a vision board. I act like I'm ashamed of my interests, passions and good memories. Like I want to hide what makes me happy. What a pointless habit. A disgusting waste of energy too.
I'm working on creating a vision board on my computer desktop. It shows random pictures of past events and memories that make me happy and/or motivate me. I'm about half done with it. I add a picture here and there when I have a spare minute.
I'm also considering a photo album. Real, hard copies of photos are SO much better than cropped, shrunk images, collaged onto an icon-crowded desktop. The feel of a photo has a "macaroni and cheese" effect on me. Comfort food.
I seek the comfort of prints when all else fails. And it works. I'll see one of those photos, all by itself and not part of a busy collage. That photo will make me smile. That memory becomes more tangible when I hold a picture in my hand. The moment captured becomes more real, more intimate.
I often forget the amazing adventures I have been on. Usually I'm too caught up worrying about the things I haven't done. Waste of time and effort. More positive moments are available in photo form to remind me of the thrill of whitewater rafting. Camping trips. That crazy, high train trestle I walked across. Disneyworld. The beach. Sweet family moments. Friends. Family. Connections.
