'in my life'

curmugeonHow far back can you remember?
I can clearly 'see' in my mind, a view from my highchair, sitting in the sunlit doorway of the kitchen, as my grandma take one look at me and says I got chicken pox... The year was 1950... or maybe 1949.
My mind works like that, I capture images, in vivid color, they are there for me to pick up and look closely again, at the details.... It's the way my mind works. I get great joy of visiting the past... a lot of good memories, but there are some bad times too. I keep those in a special place I don't visit often. The bad is bad, I don't hide from it, I just try not to dwell on it. I've moved past that point.

Date: 2008-05-14 04:04 pm (UTC)I don't remember much of my childhood, and I'm only 23. :-(
What I do remember usually isn't too happy, so maybe that's why I didn't retain much.
My Dad is an old world Italian man with a bit of a temper so I had a stressful childhood, to say the least.
