The value of positive memories is one of the main elements of stability, a refuge with an extraordinary capacity to protect us. Barroja said: “To a large extent, we are an extension of our past, the result of a memory. “
In this sense, the brain is an organ capable of storing, ordering and prioritizing all our memories. In fact, although out of the line, in psychology, the metaphor of the computer has been used for many years to talk about the brain and, in particular, memory. .
- Psychologists say that all our memories have a very close relationship with emotions.
- So we can feel original emotions again when we put them in the center of our attention.
- A pleasant memory can give us back that lost inner peace.
- Restore us to wounded self-esteem.

A while ago, I had in my hands a wonderful real story about the value of memories, a beautiful encounter with the past after many years, in May 2017, a 14-year-old boy named Patryk Lessman was spending a few days on vacation with his family in a summer house on Lake Jeziorak, Poland.
The young man took his time to build wooden huts and fish in the lake, one day, by chance, in a wooded area, he found two buried old ladies and quickly informed his parents of the find, warned local authorities, who went to the site with metal detectors to look for other objects.
A few months later, after careful analysis of what was found, they convened a press conference to report on the discovery. Both dairys contained personal items and family memories of Count Hans Joachim Finckenstein, former owner of the farm.
They found several documents, including the Count’s last wish, the Finckenstein family seal and coat of arms (an ancient Muslim aristocratic family) and even Hans Joachim’s passport and His World War I Diary. In the second box was his World War II Uniform and several letters and poems from his daughters.
Hans Joachim von Finckenstain was born in 1879 and lived the two great wars. In the summer of 1944, in the face of the Soviet advance, Hans Joachim and his wife Hildegarde sent their daughters to Pomerania (territory between Germany and Poland) and remained The deposit of personal items dates back to that time, but it is not known whether it was the father or mother of the girls who buried them.
Investigators have located the Count’s youngest daughter, Waldtraut, now 81, in Germany. When he saw the found objects, he was deeply moved. He held tightly to his father’s shoes and cried for a long time. He told reporters how she and her father. the sister took her and her sister to the bedroom every night while holding their shoes and laughing until the dream invaded them.
She could still recite by heart some of the poems found, written by herself seventy years ago. With tears of joy in his eyes, he told reporters: “I always wanted to write. My mother encouraged me to learn how to sew and embroider. “, but was it clear that I liked books?
Waldtraut recalls summer storms on Lake Jeziorak and the smell of wet earth. “Those endless afternoons when we couldn’t get out in the rain and I would recite poems while my sister followed the sunset with music. The whole family looked enthusiastically as I enjoyed It’s a wonderful part of my life that I’m now recovering from these memories?
These stories remind us of the beauty of expressing time motivated by real and deep desires, they encourage us to lose the habit of putting off the important, to stop hiding what we feel, it is simple: every moment contains the magic that we offer you could draw your best memory, how would it look?
