Proust & Memories

I need to read more Proust. I recall one of his ideas being that we must have a memory of something to truly appreciate and experience it. I think of this as I read B. a night time story about a mother trying savor each of her growing sons "lasts". Find this 1 very poignant, thinking even just after 4.5 years already see how fast time goes, how fast he grows. So I do want to make sure I'm savoring as many of these moments as possible. Yet spending too much time daydreaming about the past (or blogging about it) gets us out of the present...and to really have signficant memories of something, we have to be fully present in that moment.
