After all these years there are plenty of things to make me feel nostalgic and think about times long gone, but not forgotten. I think the one thing that really makes me think about the past is music. Music is such a huge part of who I am. I can hear a song and tell you was when I first heard it. I can remember a dance or a time with friends. When I hear an old song it feels like I’m transported back to those no worry days of the 70’s and 80’s when I was a kid without a care in the world.
Another thing that makes me feel nostalgic are pictures, and it isn’t just the images but how the images look. Photos back then on paper and in color or black and white. Simpler days with a little less distractions, and to me anyway, more time doing things as families. Those days are just great memories with the entire family…good times.
Watching an old tv show is another way for me to feel nostalgic. The shows we sometimes watched as a family, or sitting and watching certain ones with my dad. The football games on Sundays. Very nostalgic feeling.
Feeling nostalgic is fun but never forgetting is even better. Those times that really define us as people and who we are, that is what nostalgia is really about. So remember those days gone by and smile, but remember you are making more memories to look back on so make the most of now.
