Long Term Memory

-


This song has been playing in my brain for two  (2) days!  I am not in love, have no one to love but the song just keeps on coming back!


It brings back memories of being a little kid, when the only love I knew was that unconditional love of parent, and other familial adults and  my little friends.  Memories come rushing back of playing house under the big Douglas fir tree, where it was always dry even in winter, that grew across the street from the house in Trail, British Columbia.  I can see myself in blue pedal pushers, that is what we called those pants that reached your knees in those day, skipping with my friends!  I was 'bess' in skipping and hopscotch, you know!   Climbing trees, playing baseball and being sent outside to play was the mode.  LOL!  My heart is being tickled by this song and the remembrances it brings.

Those were the days when I my eyes would drink in the ladies in their mini dresses and pale lipstick and perfume.  I would be filled with an excitement  of somehow knowing that I would be looking just as good in my clothes, "when I grow big."  Daddy would wear  his Nehru collared shirts when he went out on special occasions his horn-rimmed glasses, which were all the rage.

Ain't it strange that I can remember all of that from all those years ago.  Proof positive, that long-term memory is positioning itself for old age!  Ha! Ha! Ha!  Enjoy the music!   Tell me of the ways in which your long-term memory is making preparation!  Okay, I'll be nice...Click on the link below, tap you feet and bob your neck to this tune, then share with me what memories came back to mind.

    Love your article but you know I can't write about my memories ( he he ) it will put me in trouble.

    I visit the past times in my mind and smiles always cross my face, to the point that I hear " what yuh smilin at " My response "nuthin " and inside I quietly say " girl if yuh only know "

    Sweet,

    Me again Tucson,Az.

Happiness

Taken from Trinidad Guardian, March 2013  Here is the ad I mentioned in a previous writing.  Hope you can read it (take our the magnifying glass, if you can't).  For me, the advertising firm, Ross Advertising can win the Happiness Award!   I started  internet searching  using the word, happiness,  about 4 years ago  when I was at a low ebb and  boy can you ever find variations on a theme!   Some are seeking to build a better society, while others point to individual happiness. What we perceive as happiness is as varied as all other things God has made. It's interesting, this thing happiness, that we all seek and it seems it comes through the incremental things we do.  For some people it is found in hard work or having money in the bank, the smell of a baby, your pet coming to greet you, standing on a podium giving a speech,liming with the boys, the smell that comes out of the hot earth as the rain beats down, the delight in a...

Why I Bother?

-
Someone one keeps on asking me,  with irritation in here voice, words to the effect, " why do you bother?  Why do you feel you have to change the world?"  She asked me this months ago and I could not respond.  I know my conscious intent isn't to change the world.  I do know that whatever knowledge I have I want to impart .  I do know I want to make this country, Trinidad and Tobago better.  As a matter of fact any country in which I live, I want to give to the fullest.   Early one Sunday morning my response formed and I preferred not to answer my friend directly rather,  to ease my mind, I wrote my answer on Facebook.  Now, I re-print here. _________________________________________________ I talk with everybody. I talk with people on the bus - the older woman who tells me that she has only visited the U.S. once and it sure doesn't touch TnT, the young man whose eyes warm when he speaks of his daughter of 2 years.
