The vault

Take a step back from your self when you notice it. You have that feeling like everything is going OK. You're enjoying the moment, and wish you could save the feeling. Maybe you're watching your kids having fun, or the weather is just perfect, and you've just done some yard work, or you notice how much you love your spouse...... whatever... Stop and look around. At the moment when you realize your contentment, take a mental photograph, sniff the air.... Pick out a unique image or color, or something to tie it to, and freeze it. Think of other times when you felt like this.


Now lock it up in the Vault. Visualize physically stashing this feeling inside a big cartoon safe with the big tumbler on it. put it with those other memories, and lock the safe.

the big thing is to remember to open that safe and take the memories out every now and again.
