We've all heard the saying "a mind is a terrible thing to waste".
I got to thinking about that and so is the value of a smile.
Who would waste a perfectly good smile? Well I know we have wasted many in our house.
All of those wonderful photos of life activities that brought such vivid smiles when we looked at them.
Where are they now? Stuffed away somewhere in an old dusty box instead of Digital Picture Frames.
This past Christmas my wife got a great idea for a nice gift for our children.
They are older so she thought of making up a memory photo album for each one.
To begin the process the dusty old boxes of photos were first found and then cleaned off and finally opened.
As her project progressed and the photos began to be pulled out and looked over, it was amazing listening to the giggles & watching as the smiles came automatically.
That's when I was convinced that willfully stuffing your old photos (or memories) in a box, or even a photo album, to just put away somewhere is like purposely throwing away perfectly good smiles.
Sure we all have far too many photos to have the house literally plastered or cluttered with them.
What's the solution? Using Digital Picture Frames and perhaps "themes".
As a theme we may set up our "family outing", next our vacation, then perhaps the photos the kids sent to us.
If they can, have them send the pictures on a disk to save work, but you know there are frames now you can get that will upload your pictures from others all by itself right over the phone.
WOW! For the little bit of extra time and effort to get some of our favorite photos scanned onto a Digital Picture Frame card it is so worth it.
Once again you can be enjoying those memories these photos bring that were temporarily lost, but now are openly available for all to see and enjoy again.
So now you can just look over and let go of a great big smile whenever they want.
