And yet still it’s life – as we know and understand it to be. So what can we take from this?
We can remember to Cherish! Those special people, experiences and moments – the oh-so-happy times. Within the prisms of our heart there is a quintessential quality of memories that nourish us when we’re sad, sustain us when we’re troubled and gentle our thoughts and actions when we’re stressed.
Cherishing is an artistic absolute, lifting up a mundane or indifferent day into the realm of something much more.
Hold dear and close those cherishing thoughts. They are yours to keep and value forever. Use them well. Not only do they sustain, they also become an essence of your being, a filter to enhance and strengthen your life’s experiences!

The Why About This 
You are absolutely right Penny. It is those cherished thoughts that carry us through the difficult times. I had many of these from you to help me through my challenging summer. I will always be so very grateful to you. 🙂
And I, LuAnn do so cherish our special friendship with each other, more than the words here can adequately express! 🙂 xx
Thank you dear friend for that lovely comment. 🙂
AnElephantCant say he knows too much
About the wonderful Quality of Cherishing
But one thing he knows
And he knows that it shows
If he follows Penny’s words he is soon happily flourishing
Thank you kindly. I appreciate you and your loving words here, more than I can say! xo
Showing my age here — The second I saw the word ‘Cherish’ in your title I thought of the song that was so popular back in the 1960s. That song really compliments your post here.
Hi Glynis, I absolutely love that song. Thank you so much for reminding me of it! The tune and lyrics are now playing in my head (delightfully)! 🙂
So nice to see your face again fave neighb!

Thank you RoSy, I’m working on freeing up more time in the coming weeks so I can visit again too! Thanks Fave neighb! 🙂 xo
Your post certainly made my “mundane or indifferent day into the realm of something much more.” Thank you.
And I thank you Tez for your sweet and generous comment my friend!
A warm and affectionate hello back. How true what you say, life has its ups and downs but we wouldn’t want it any other way. So we do cherish those we love, the moments we share, always moving forward in search of new adventures. Good one Penny.
Thank you! Hope your weekend was a great one for you! xx
Thank you Penny, my weekend has been superb!
I love the word cherish and its meaning, and it is such a good thing. It is one of the few things I could not translate in German but know and love it in English. I cherish you , Penny, and so many other people and memories and thoughts!
Thank you Ute! Your feelings are shared equally by me, dear friend! 🙂
The quality of happiness is increased with the quality of friends, not the quantity. I really like this post Penny. I like the idea of keeping hold of the most cherished thoughts to use them. Thank you.
Hugs to you and your family.
