Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.” ~Emily Post

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. The most important thing a man can know is that, as he approaches his own door, someone on the other side is listening for the sound of his footsteps.”— Clark Gable There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.”— Robert SoutheyThere are, of course, several different types of memory. Forgetting what you intended to buy is different from forgetting someone’s name or what you did last Wednesday. But research on how memory works points to several ways in which our newly constrained environment could be having an impact.

This similarity between contexts is important when it comes to retrieving memories. Your brain’s memory search process is rather like a Google search, in that you’re more likely to find what you’re looking for if your search terms closely match the source content. During memory search, your current mental context is your set of search terms. In any given situation, your brain is rapidly rifling through your memories for ones that most closely resemble your current state of context. Simple but deep 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. When we do get the chance to chat, we also have fewer stories to tell. As holidays get cancelled, weddings are postponed, concerts and sporting events go ahead without live audiences, we have less to talk about. And as for tales of woe at work, they’re mainly about the frustrations of technology letting us down. Schedule family time.– Eat dinner together often, have game night, story night, or movie night; read together, go on family outings, laugh together, worship together, and pray together. The concept of home isn’t always pleasant. Here are some sardonic comments about the realities of home – and a few funny nursery rhymes that we thought we would throw in. Don't be afraid to use humor when funeral planning. Sometimes a funny quote is appropriate – even when writing a eulogy.There’s just one problem: I’m not certain it’s real. According to my parents, I may have made up many of the details from a photograph of a party at a neighbour’s house in the 1980s. 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. And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. Ephesians 4:26–27 Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam. Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word. And the skies are not cloudy all day.”— Brewster Higley A memory of a beloved grandparent or long-gone family pet can bring us happiness, whether it is fictional or not.

Say “I’m sorry.” Don’t go to bed angry.–Don’tlet your pridebecome more important thatyour relationships. Sometimes it’s hardest to say “I’m sorry” to our spouses and our children. There are many quotes about the warm feelings people often associate with home, and some encompass the not-so-warm feelings. Here are some blunt statements about homeownership.How does it feel to be without a home / Like a complete unknown / Like a rolling stone?”— Bob Dylan How do great writers and thinkers describe the concept of home? Here are some thoughtful quotes that make you go, “hmmm.” Let’s start with learning. It is well established that learning in the brain happens by a process of association. If A and B occur together, they become associated. Contextual-binding theory goes a step further: A and B are associated not just with one other, but also with the context in which they occurred. These mechanisms are simple, but the implications are profound. According to the theory, you’re most likely to remember memories from contexts that are similar to the context you’re in now. Because your mental context is always changing, your mental context will be most similar to recently experienced memories. This explains why it’s harder to remember older events. Does the word “home” make you think of family and love? Here are some quotes that give positive and negative views of the home. We think they pair perfectly with songs about family.
