Yes, and all memories are not meant to flutter to the top of the think tank, but somehow, they manage to elbow their way to the top. Then it is your choice to ponder on them or banish them back into obscurity. We each have our day in the sun, just as memories find opportunities to surface. It is then as we face reality that we can feel a smile wiggling our lips into action, causing you to breathe that sigh or blink a tear, knowing that was then and now is now. You see, life marches on, but we have the pleasure of recalling a special moment from yesteryear!
