I have been very hectic and stressful lately, well as much as I can be since I am not the type to allow stress to get to me, but I have been extremely hectic.
I have been moving stuff between 3 houses, hopefully finally getting MOST of my stuff at one of my homes. Those that know me well on here, know the full story, but I wanted to preface the reason for my anxiety.
I had something happen to me recently and the memory it brought back was just all-consuming and filled me with an essence of bitter-sweet.
I was moving stuff between homes and I passed a church where they has this enormous cooker out and was grilling what looked like enough for an entire nation lol . Well the smell of the that wafting through the air hit me and I was immediately taken back to the summers of my youth. We would go up to the lake house and grill out and swing on a rope, attached to a huge tree next to a cliff and land into the icy lake below. Everything was so secure & carefree and just lots of fun.
That smell just sent all this flooding back and I could hear the laughter of me and my step siblings, I could smell the food on the grill, the ice cold water as I landed in the lake from the rather precarious man made swing. I was suddenly overtaken by a river of emotions.
I was wondering if you had a sense memory, something either delightful or even sad that you could share with us, what happened and how it made you feel when the memory was sparked.
