Throwback Thursday Yields Real Treasure

Throwback Thursday or #TBT is a social media trend of posting old photos or previously posted ones. It can be fun, nostalgic or in this case, yielding real treasure.

The Boomer Muse: Butterflies: Messengers and Metaphors for Life and Death:

and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. There is a cat in and with my old boy on his way out, I felt like crying. I noticed the link went to my old non-existent blog and I really felt like crying. This image was one of thousands I thought was lost when I migrated the blog two years ago to a new URL and lost the previous archive of six years. But wait, then I clicked on what I thought was the broken link and it took me to my old Pinterest page. And there, I found, a treasure trove of dozens of my old images, art, quotes. It’s not thousands but at least enough to bring a smile, I hope.

Nothing ever dies, it just changes form. This will be a Throwback Thursday I’ll never forget.  You can click on the Pinterest link and find what made me smile and go a bit leaky-eyed. The comments from those who pinned the images was bonus. Sadly, there are the blog titles but no blog posts. I’d love to read Shift Happens: 10 Ways to Shift Your Moods.
