 by Skip Cohen It's Sunday morning, and as always, I like to post about anything but marketing. It's my time to step away from business, and hopefully, it's a break you need as well. We've all heard the expression, "You can never go back!" I realized this week that it's not entirely accurate, as you can revisit the journey when it's emotional and filled with memories. Like just about everybody I know, we're Robert Redford fans. His passing this week took me on a quest to watch one of my favorite movies, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We watched it on Friday night. When it first aired in 1969, I saw it in a theater. Even though it's been close to fifty years, I remembered every scene, and often the lines! I sat on the couch with all the enthusiasm of a little kid waiting in line for his favorite ride at Disney. The news media did a piece with short cuts of his most recognized films. Well, like a spin-off of a sitcom, the list of his films put me on a quest to watch other films of both his and Paul Newman's. Next up will be The Sting and then Cool Hand Luke - two great actors who gave us outstanding movies and, in turn, memories. I've shared Jodi Picoult's quote so many times: "This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect." Here's my point - imaging whether photographs, video, or full feature films have the ability to turn back time and take us on an emotional journey that often can make our hearts soar, smile, and even cheer! Wishing everybody a day ahead to turn back time to any moment in your past where you laughed, loved, and felt terrific. Don't let the craziness of the world outside interfere and take time away from the people most important to you. Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs I've been writing about for the last ten years and cherish every second with the people you love most. Happy Sunday...or Monday on the other side of the world. Go back. Go back in time. Everyone's life is a chain of memories.
In each chain there are shining links, happenings where this element of wonder...was very strong. Why don't you reach out and relive some of those memories? If you work at it, remembering the wonder can revive your ability to live life as it should be lived. Arthur Gordon Webster
