Early Memories...
I just got finished listening to an excerpt from
JoAnn Beard's book "Boys of my Youth." In the preface we heard about he earliest memory, and it started me thinking about the earliest memory that I have.
It was a long time ago, I couldn't have been much more than five. I was sitting in the front seat, long before it was regulation for young children to be in a booster in the back, and even then I think it was because both my little brothers were in car seats in the back. Mom was driving and we're
heading back from the shoe store. I remember that she was frustrated because we got there just after it was closing. I looked around outside the car and the sun was just setting. It was probably the most beautiful sight that I have ever seen. The pinks blended in to the oranges and reds that extended out from the orange-
ish yellow that was the sun. All this
occur ed over a field that had a nicely wooded area farther back. I don't remember being more content as a child as I was at that moment.
I'm actually very surprised that I remember this with such detail. Normally my memories are scattered and vague. They take
alot to jog the the full picture. I know my friends get frustrated when they try to get me to remember certain
converstations that I have with them. I feel sometimes as if they think I don't find our conversations interesting, I really do. It just takes
alot for me to sift through random thoughts, and many other things that cloud my mind throughout the day.
