Another Post About Memories...

Good memories, not ones you actually care to remember, are still waiting to resurface when you least expect them to.  They are unwanted snip-its of time that are permanently stored in my mind.  As I walked past the play area for small children at the Harbison mall last night, a flash of the past struck me like lightning.  I could see a somewhat younger, less tired girl sitting at a nearby table.  She's laughing hysterically as she and the man she shares everything with make inappropriate jokes over ice cream.  And just as quickly as it had surfaced, the memory was gone.  Back to the darkest corner of my brain waiting to be triggered again, perhaps years later.  It's not nostalgic because good memories, like this one, were few and far between then.  It was just a reminder that regardless of what I plan to do, nothing in life is certain...we just have to make adjustments.
