Keepsakes - Treasured Possessions

When we talk about our most treasured possessions we describe things that have sentimental value in our lives, people who mean so much to us, and memories that no one can take away from us. It’s human to want to own things but if we really think about it, even if we hold them close to our hearts, we can only wish that they would be with us forever. This is why I have learned to enjoy my most treasured possessions and know when to hold on to them really tight when it’s time to loosen my grip. I also believe in sharing. Here are some people who explained their treasured possessions in my blog. 

Sarah Patten, housewife: Three things come to my mind: my engagement and wedding ring, which reminds me of how lucky I am to have a wonderful husband; my photos, which let me enjoy looking back at the good memories I’ve had him.

William Sanders chef: My most treasured possession would be an award that I received for being The Most Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year. The food business is my passion. To be recognized in my field of work and to own such an award makes every sweat, hard work and sleepless night worthwhile.

Cam Fraser, social entrepreneur: One of the most treasured possessions I have is my Volkswagen. I have a 1953 Beetle, which was the first one that I put together with a mechanic. That made me really appreciate building things from scratch; that was my first project. 

Angela Marker, chef: My most treasured possessions are happy memories with family and friends. These past few years my family and I have been blessed to go on trips that make us closer as a family. I feel very fortunate that we have these opportunities to spend more time with my 84-year-old father and my children have also become very close not only to their cousins but also to my brother, sister and brother-in-law. Material possessions can either get lost or stolen but these wonderful memories will be there forever. So, we also make sure to take tons of photos that are fun to look at from time to time.
