Remember - Live longer

I got a nice Christmas Greeting from my niece in Oregon: picture of her family and a report or summery of the last year, all the events important to her and the family.
That made me thinking about remembering what happened the last year when you just enter the next one.
Every year of our life is in a kind of box in our brain. If you don't keep track of it, may be in writing or at least in a pile of pictures, then that box is empty. 
See the impression, that a year made on you as a more or less long stretch of a line. A well remembered year would be a long stretch and an other one with no events  kept in mind would be a very short one and so on. 
And there are some years or times that you try to cut out of your life, that shortens the length of that line. 
But watch that line in retrospective: that is your life! If you are able to remember as much as possible, or call it back by reading your notes as my niece does it or looking at old pictures and also face some bad years, that makes your life-line longer.
Than you can say: I had a long history, a long life with so many events worth to remember.
Happy New Year to every one! 
And try to keep your 'life-line' as long as possible!
