You know I was just chatting with one of my 14 yr old daughters yesterday morning, we were talking about how much of where we use to live can she remember? She was 3 1/2 when we moved to our house now. She remembered a few things, the original curtains in her bedroom, moving some toys in before we actually moved "in" and then she started talking about other memorys but she said she thinks they are what she's seen on the video recordings that we took over the yrs.

She seemed upset that the recordings have been damaged and some parts are now gone. I thought about it and said "you know I dont think it matters to much that the recordings are not all there, I think our memorys hold the memorys for us that we need to have, and maybe having video evidence of our growing up isn't always as needed as we think?"

I wondered if actually we ruin what memory ability we do have by having our past right there, right in front of us, remembered for us? Maybe it takes away the natural ability to remember?

I think I'm rambling here, but I then put this thinking to our T's and wondered if we panic to much??? if we dont have enought faith in the natural remembering ablity? anyways just got me thinking, helped me put my forgetting T into perspective, took the panic out of it. My mind will remember and feed me the info I need???
