Funny how a series of events can culminate to bring about some thoughts. This evening, I plugged, "The Green Mile," into the DVD player. One of the very early scenes is of the elderly gentlemen watching an old Fred Astair movie and triggering memories of his own which brought him to tears.
It got me started thinking that when we're that old in life and our phyisical abilities become more and more limited, pretty much all we have left are our memories and our minds. It made me think, "What memories am I storing up for myself to fall back upon when those days creep up on me?"
Normally, I don't dwell on such things, but from time to time they come to me.
I look at the memories I have now and while there are a few moments which I don't care to relive much, for the most part, my memories bring me a great deal of happiness and joy. A large part of that comes from this board and from the rides I've been on from time to time. Those are great memories.
Not sure, completely, where I'm going with this. Just reflecting......
--Wag--
