Rediscovering that Lost Treasure Box

It might be an old shoebox, an overstuffed envelope or even a plastic container. What they all have in common are a content full of old memories.  Maybe Mom cleaned out the attic or gave it to you when you left home.  Best yet is when it is randomly returned to you by a stranger, after you left it behind while away at school and thought it lost forever.

It’s cost on the open market, $1.99, but it’s value PRICELESS!
Everyone's is different, school art that spent two years on the refrigerator back in the 70's, pictures of you and a childhood friend whose name you can't remember but the goofy smiles are huge.

Some contain torn stubs from your first movie date, or first rock concert, swimming badges or
that puck that you scored the game winning goal with. And the letters, from the days before email and texting, love letters you received and the ones you always wanted to send but never did. A dried flower from prom.  Mementos, certificates, awards and achievements. All those milestone markers like your first driver's license or paycheck stub.  That lock of hair that proves you really were a blond back then.

You see it again and the anticipation builds. It's all in there, the tangibles and the not so, the smiles, the tears, the memories of times, things and events that made you who you are today.  AWESOME!!

So come on folks, scroll on down to the comments section and let us know what’s in your box of AWESOME,
