How vividly do you remember?
When we return to a place we haven't been to in a long time, we tend to recall the many fond and some not so fond memories of that place as if they were yesterday. We may feel that the place itself has changed a lot, but if it hasn't, we can easily feel as if we have stepped back in time to when the memories occurred. Do you notice how vivid some of the memories can be when we recall them? Do you ever notice details that seem somehow important but a long time ago seemed irrelevant such as peanut butter being sold in glass bottles? What's your favourite nostalgic moment and what memories does it unlock for you?
Book Excerpt
Cold Feet
Danzer’s is the local supermarket. It’s been around since I was a child. When I enter Danzer’s I get the feeling that the only things that have changed are the products on the shelves and the cashiers. Other than that, I remember it exactly as it has always been when I was growing up. I roam between the shelves and find that the products I want are still in the same locations on the shelves where they were so many years before. As I wonder if I have stepped into the land that time forgot, someone bumps into me from behind and I drop the jar of peanut butter I am holding. It smashes on the floor splattering peanut butter far and wide.
Look at that. They still use glass bottles here, I think as I look at the mess.
