Man…I just got a blast from the past today. A damn picture! It’s funny how pictures can take you back to memory of all sorts…your favorite song of that time, the favorite tie you owned, to which I was wearing in this picture…good friends that you had, faces that you haven’t seen probably since that day.
Well, to my boy Derrick..that took the opportunity to post up our post-Graduation Celebration picture it was great. It really took me back. I had visions of what I did that night, down to what I had on…had a flash back of those old graduation day pictures taken with then married parents…then little brother (that through no fault of my own is bigger than me now)…the friends I was so close to that after that day of celebration, some of which I haven’t seen or heard from since.
The Walk down memory lane was unexpected and a cool moment to experience before the weekend. I think this weekend I’ll dedicate to the 20 years from now that I think back on this weekend and wonder what smells will trigger a memory..what smiles and frowns I’ll remember, what a kid will say, and what an adult may do.
Time is important..don’t take the time to smell the roses..cause it’ll be a well surprise when you think back and remember what that smell actually smelled like! Thanks Derrick for the memory lane stroll.
