N is for Nostalgia

I feel it every now and then, that feeling that creeps up and you can't quite put your finger on it. You immediately think of a distant memory and there it is! That warm feeling inside which evokes a sadness some people call nostalgia, or maybe you call it homesickness, a longing for something in the past, happier times. But let's not go there!

There's nothing wrong with happy memories, they're great. It's what keeps us moving forward on a foundation that is unbreakable. It's why we raise our children to become independent and productive members of society. We want them to think of us when they finally spread their wings and fly off to populate the world with their own contributions to the evolution of mankind.

Yes, this is deep stuff. It's deep because this is stream of consciousness writing and you can't tell yourself what not to write, it just spills out like something got caught in the commode and it's overflowing and you don't have a plunger close by to stop it. You just hope something ugly doesn't come bubbling up. So I will stop. Deep went to odd very quickly here. Awkward!
