Smile

I know everyone has those feelings of “been there before”… or de ja vu, but lately I find myself doing bouts of time travel.

I’ve heard the number one trigger of memory is your sense of smell. You know what I mean? Like smelling a steaming hot plate of sweet corn and immediately I’m 12 years old again, sitting out on the corner of Agriculture Rd. USA, selling sweet corn out of my red wagon.

But for me, hearing an old song like the Allman Brother’s “Jessica” and I can instantly travel back in time, 26 years to 1979…
it was a crisp cool fall evening in October…
sitting beside the cutest boy I’d ever seen (my high school boyfriend)…
in a 67 mustang (green)…
experiencing my first real kiss …
the kiss by which I’ve measured all others….
Wow, maybe I should play that song again.
