Smile.

*smiles back...

V.

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when i see her face
She takes me away,to that special place
And if i stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

-guns n roses

that's very pretty...

V.

At my age, I have a LOT of memories, some good, some bad, and some downright awful.
I try to focus on the good ones.

Hugs

Bunners

I agree all the way...

*hugs back...

V.

Yeahhhhhhh... a smile...

V.

Trust me. I am smiling.

and that's just wonderful...

V.

*hugs* I hear you brother....

I was wondering where you slipped of to... all is well?

V.

Yes, and busy, and chaotic, and beginning to settle back to normal...whatever the hell that is. I owe you and a bunch of other folks an update big time.

I will continue to be patient...

V.

Memories and seasons. So many of both. First girlfriend, first kiss, first... (* ahem *). The bad, too: losing my parents, struggling with a flooding basement, the only person I ever performed CPR on dying under my hands -- and he was a friend of a friend.

that's what makes life doesn't it? I'm betting we could sit and talk for hours Perfesser...

V.

*smiles* Memories are funny things, one vague memory I've had since in my early days was of my sister and I in a like at sunset, near some woods. For years I assumed it was just a mundane dream, but found out later it had happened upon finding some old photographs.

Oh yes... I can remember all the way back to around a year to a year and a half... and I am happy for that.

V.

how many times have we done that? to many to bother counting

so true, so true...

V.

I must be lucky. Most of my good memories are really good. And, just as importantly, most of my bad memories aren't really that bad.

*hugs* Thank you for this. It was nice to rummage around in your noggin for a minute.

just don't speak too loudly when in there or the echo will become deafening...

*chuckles...

V.

*dances*

*dances too...

V.

they mean so much to us... you should see my Huskies... they are so much fun.

V.

Thanks for sharing. Many smiles to be shared.
Reminiscing about the past always has a place in life, and you never know what will trigger a memory recall. I remember in high school senior english class, our teacher would "guide" us on a "stream of consciousness" journey every once in a while to spark some creativity and try to focus our young minds. I sometimes still do that, but it really sucks when a negative thought gets stuck in my head and I end up sinking into the underground rivers instead of the babbling brooks. But I tend to believe that my life choices and events have led me to this moment, and I would not be here in this time and place if any of them had/had not happened (good and bad).

You're very welcome...
