Product Information

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, a parent.” ~Barbara Bush Memories fade with time. If you haven't thought about a memory in years, it won't be as vivid or strong as it used to be. "By not revisiting the memory, you're telling your brain it's not important, and other memories might be laid on top of it," Dr. Budson says.

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”— Phyllis Diller The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”— Maya Angelou Of the many memories you accumulate every day, only those marked as meaningful are recorded in your brain's long-term files. "We have a system in our brains that tags memories that are important in some way so we'll remember them in the future," explains Dr. Andrew Budson, a neurologist and chief of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at VA Boston Healthcare System. The difference between a house and a home is this: a house may fall down, but a home is broken up.”— Elbert Hubbard Be still as you try to summon old memories; close your eyes at times and focus on the sights, sounds, smells, thoughts, and feelings associated with each one.Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.”— John Howard Payne We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”— II Corinthians 5:1 Leave yourbad mood at the door.– If that’s not possible, use words to talk aboutyour mood rather thanemotionally taking that bad mood out on your family.

As corny as it sounds, to me, home is where the heart is… So moving houses is just another way in which I get to experience life.”— Ellen DeGeneres Data is not, of course, the plural of anecdote and it’s too early for research comparing our memory skills before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. But in a survey conducted by the Alzheimer’s Society, half of relatives said that their loved ones’ memories had got worse after they began living more isolated lives. For those of us simply hoping to find out if a cherished childhood memory is true or not, the best solution is to search for proof that it really happened – a photograph, childhood video or diary entry. But not all of our parents documented our every step as a child. We need help to jog our memory. "When we're younger, an internal cue — just thinking of something — can help retrieve a memory," Dr. Budson says. "But when we're older, we rely more on external cues to retrieve memories, like a sound or an image." Cue the memoryThere was no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn’t get any worse.”— Quentin Crisp

Everyone needs a somewhere, a place he can go. There comes a time, you see, inevitably there comes a time you have to have a somewhere you can go!”— Fyodor Dostoevsky Sometimes memories of certain experiences remain crystal clear for life, like the moment you said "I do," or the first time you held your baby in your arms. Other significant memories from long ago can be harder to recall. But they may still be with you; it just takes effort to retrieve them. Which memories stay with us? Contextual-binding theory can potentially explain a host of other phenomena, such as the effects of brain damage on memory. People with damage to a region in the centre of the brain called the hippocampus are often unable to form new memories. We suspect this is where context-binding actually occurs, especially given that the hippocampus receives inputs from virtually all other brain regions, enabling associations between different sights, smells, physical sensations, and emotions.Not just holidays and celebrations.
