Is it a baseball cap signed by Paul O’Neill?  Your favorite Fiona Apple record?  A pumpkin you carved back in kindergarten?

Or is it something less tangible, like a long lasting friendship or a favorite story?

It is certainly pleasant to keep little mementos of what is important to us, whether they are hard objects or simply memories in our heads.  It’s our guidance when the going gets tough, a fond reminder of our identity should we begin to question our direction.
