So we all have them. Things that make you go “aaahhhhh”. Things that bring back your childhood, if your childhood was a happy one. Things that make you feel like your younger self, like your happier self.
So here goes, cheese popcorn, the tar smell of fresh asphalt, a VW bus, a Plymouth Valiant, a butter crunch ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles
Fanta Grape soda, the smell of an old church sanctuary, stained glass, cement sidewalks with chalk lined hopscotch outlines, the feeling of sand between your toes, the sound of the surf, wind blowing through an open car window, sweet green grapes
The intersection of York Road and Belvedere Avenue, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, the hymn, This is My Father’s World, big old fashioned Christmas lights
You should try this! I want you who are so inclined to make your own list. I want those of you so inclined to put your list, or part of it, as a comment to this blog. You all know the song, My Favorite Things with Julie Andrews. That chick can sing! I saw a video on YouTube of a dance performance to that song in a train station. That video made me really happy. Cry a little. just like the list
So watch the video. and make your list
