Touching Lives

“The people whose lives you touch may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” — David B. Haight, “Families Are Forever”, Ensign, Nov. 1976, 20

I love the message of this quote and when I think about my scrapbooking I want to include reminders about the essence of my relationships. I have some friends that make me laugh so hard tears stream down my face — I have photos of us rolling around on the floor holding our stomachs with red faces. Not very pretty pictures — but when I look at them it brings back all of the love and gratitude I have for these friends — as well as reminding me about very fun times.

When you scrapbook, it’s not necessary to make sure every photograph is perfect, that your hair is in place and that the lighting is great. Write down your experiences, your thoughts about your friends or family and make sure to include how they make you feel. These memories are priceless.
