Many things can spark a memory, a smell, a texture, a glimpse, a taste. As, I took the first drink of my tea I was instantly back in Montana with my mom. What magic carpet ride, since I'm 1600 miles south of there, but never the less that's where the taste took me. It's not some special tea, its just the type my mom has had every day as far back as I can remember; lipton, or any black tea, with MILK and sugar.
This isn't the only ordinary thing that reminds me of my family and friends. Original scented Dove soap reminds me of my Nana, the smell of a nail salon reminds me of my twin sister, cardinals remind me of my grandma, Stetson cologne reminds me of my uncle...the list is endless,but each reminder is welcome and comforting.
What made u remember a person or a time or place long gone? I hope you get a chance to walk down your own memory lane today! Happy strolling....
