The Persistence of Memory is a sword that cuts both ways: we recall with fondness our cherished memories; and we are haunted with old regrets and unfulfilled promises.  Rarely  though is this a zero-sum game.  We tend to define ourselves through this lens of reflection, so may we choose not to block-out the negativity, but rather to own it and move on.  May we project our positivity into the future, and create the opportunities for the happiest memories of our lives yet to come.  For all that we’ve been and all we are yet to become we give thanks.  Blesséd Be, and Amen.
