Submission #12: Magic Remains

We have so many changes in our lives some are so major we are changed forever. In this change some of what was before hangs on no matter how much we try to not allow it to cross into now. When we really allow it in and allow the full experience of that song, that memory, that pure thought from a time never to reclaim we allow it to fully touch us again.

What it is that we tried so hard to block is a simple smile from a spark of life in our memory that was all the beauty and grace of true and innocent emotion that was so gently powerful the very first time we felt it. By some simple childhood type of magic it remains and the reason we may have blocked it was because we thought it may bring pain. Once allowed it brings nothing but a smile and relieves that spark from all pain and its magic is now magic again.

Mine was a song from long ago that brought a flood of memories and I blocked it from pang of tenderness it touched. Thank you, James Taylor, for I need to shower the people I love with love. The spark of smile is still there. I just needed to get past that twinge.

Wacky Wednesdays

I thought that today I would share a favorite childhood memory of mine. It was Wacky Wednesdays. The first Wednesday of the month! My father would take my sister and I to “dinner” and we ordered dessert before dinner! So where did we go? Friendly’s! For the reeses pieces sundae!

Besides the fact that my sister and I loved this concept I think it worked out really well for my father because we were too full for a real meal. I do remember sometimes we’d order something and it would come home with us in a box but other times we would just have a sundae and then a sandwich or cereal later on at home.

Have a fun childhood memory you’d like to share? Go to the submit page and I’ll get it posted as soon as possible or feel free to leave a comment!
