Memories...

Tonight, I got to chat with an old friend that used to live down the street from me when I was growing up! Gotta love FB for providing the opportunity! Found out a few tid-bits about the old neighborhood, as she recently moved back into it! Like, my former next door neighbors... they still live there! Talk about a "Wow! Really?"

I had the opportunity to drive through my old neighborhood a few weeks ago... was sorta a sentimental trip...

A lot had changed, so much so that I hardly recognized it! Saw the house I grew up in... that was a trip! But the neighborhood, although familiar, was vastly different! For one thing, the houses were a lot closer together than I remember... but I was a bit younger... and a whole lot smaller way back when... Last weekend, my parents gave me two pictures. These two pictures were of me when I was very young and was living in the house that I previously mentioned.

A few years ago, this same house was up "For Sale," and vacant... I was able to walk around the property and into the backyard... posing as a prospective buyer...

Back then, it brought back a lot of memories as well. Tonight, it sorta came full circle.

It is somewhat strange that we have memories and pictures of previous parts of our lives, that we can recollect, see, and reminisce...

Tidbits, parts, and snapshots... a simpler time... an age of innocence... we were, of course, younger then...

But the purpose of my ramblings, is that although many things change, there are some things that never change! I guess that is the beauty of it all, that no matter what happens in one's life, there will always be something or someone that will always remain a constant! One may not know it, one may not even be aware of it, but it will always be there...

Waiting for a rediscovery or remembrance...
