Sister Gill sold the family baby grand to Mr. and Mrs. Music. Today Mr. Music told sister gill and her sis that they found a "treasure trove" with the piano. It was the piano chair - it contained sister gill's and her sis' old piano books. Mr. Music told us about how he and his wife were so happy to find the books that they took them out and started playing. I saw the smile on his face - I could tell that they would be truly pleased when he realized they could keep the books.

Tonight I asked myself, What is my treasure trove? I had to think hard. All that came to mind were flashes of memories tucked away at the back of my mind. Memories that slowly fade away with time or get replaced. Then my yellow scrap book came to mind. It was a graduation gift from my small group at college - xWave.

As I flipped through the pages, I started beaming. Photographs, emails, quotes and more colored fading memories anew. Faces I had almost forgotten smiled back at me in the book and special events came back to mind. For the ten minutes I spent in the book, I was transported back to college. I could see myself back in my room again, I could hear other xWaver's voices. Wow, it was sweet. I remembered how much this community meant to me and shaped my life significantly.

I always say that college days will never be here again. But maybe I can beat that in a different way. This week, I am going to dig up all my college photos and finish up the scrap book.
