🌸 Good Memory Day 🌸

🟡 Good Memory Day is observed to cherish good moments from our past and present while making new ones for the future ❤️

💡 Human memory has been a topic of study since the time of Aristotle. The earliest attempts to understand memory are found in Aristotle’s treatise 💟On the Soul💟 He was the first individual to compare the human mind to a blank slate and advocated that human beings are a total of their experiences 🙂

❤️ On this holiday, we love to scroll through old photo albums and share a good laugh over a memory 🖼

⬇️ As the name suggests, this day is also the perfect occasion to test how good your memory is ☀️ Come up with a memory game based on major childhood events and have a memorable day. Plan a fun day out with your family, or make that pending call to your best friend today ❤️
