I was so sure I'd have nothing interesting to share about one thing I did in my day for this topic but it turns out I have a beautiful one to share and I still can't stop smiling while writing this right now.
Before this day, my day's routine has been almost in repeat with me doing the same thing everyday especially with Hive as my main activity for the day. But today, thanks to Hive once again and my chats with my friends in the Neoxian City, I am reminded of my family's photo album.
I rarely go through our photo album, not because I don't like to or enjoy looking back to our past memories captured on camera. It is simply because I like the excitement that comes with me looking through our photos after a long while.
I wrote a post this morning sharing some pictures of my old photos so I'm choosing not to add it here again but you can go find the post here and see a few of my photos when I was younger and read some fun stories behind those pictures.
Looking back to my family's photo took more time than expected.

I had planned to take some shots of our photo and make a post about it but it didn't go well as planned for me as I had to search for the album. I guess dad had to change where it was usually being kept, reasons best known to him.
You won't believe how long it took for me to find the album, I almost gave up finding it and just think of something else to do. But then, the excitement I talked about, I mean the excitement to see those pictures couldn't let me stop searching.
I tried not to ransack the whole house so I don't give myself work after I find it so I asked my brother to help me search the unusual places while I searched through my dad's things. I even went through his important files bag, I hope he doesn't find out lol.
Well, I found the album and memories began to replay...
I realize I couldn't tell the story behind every one of the pictures but I knew a lot of stories and I couldn't stop smiling as I think back while looking at the pictures. While there are some that marked bad memories, there are a lot more that saved happy memories for us to look back to.
I guess I've said it already the reason I decided to go through our family photo album and now, I'm glad I did as I'm able to share it here to be the most amazing part of my day. Thanks to these photos, I didn't have a normal day as I always have but I'm not saying those days were bad, I just love today.
What is the importance of this part of my day to my life?
It made me appreciate life more and how far I've come, my age, my achievements, my health, my family still in one piece, and most importantly, it makes me appreciate that I can look back to those years though pictures and smile happily.
Having a reflective time of one's life does a lot for the individual as you tend to know better what to do to have an even better future. I am grateful to my dad for keeping our family photo album in one piece and letting us visit our past with it in smiles.
So that was how a part of my day went and I'd be glad to know about yours, do share and let's connect!
