Faded

Over time things all become faded if we allow.

Pictures, curtains, paintwork, memories and much more.

It is up to us to keep things shining brightly or not. As ever, a choice.

Memories fade like pictures if you let them.

Cherish the memories that matter, record them in some way and keep going back to them.

Our past matters too, as it is filled with more good than bad.

What will we do in a week?

Often following disasters there is a natural instinct to help, to donate, to take action, to write posts on Facebook, to be outraged, sadden or a whole variety of emotions.

But in a week, what will we all do? A month? What will we do?

The people suffering from the disaster need help for a long time after, not just our initial support.

Let’s not forget.
