There are places I remember...

Do you have a soundtrack of your life? You know, songs that play in your mind at certain times or memories that are deeply associated with particular music? Maybe it’s only me…

I recently visited a place that I used to frequent a number of years ago, and there I saw some people who I now see only periodically.   Both the place and the people are still a part of my life, but not my everyday life.  What a delight to return to a place that feels like home and to rekindle friendships from a previous time!

I found that my spending the weekend there not only evoked a case of nostalgia, but it also activated my soundtrack: The Beatles' song "In My Life" has been popping into my head during these past few weeks, as I reflect on my affection for people and things that went before.

Thank you for that piece. I can feel that and it makes me smile as I think back on those memories and their place. I never quite listened to that Beatles song with those thoughts in mind before. iT is in fact the soundtrack of our lives!
But for the record, I love you more!
