Human brains are so amazingly wired, so completely baffling. I say that because of what I have just experienced.....
I bit into a delicious-smelling piece of dark chocolate (from my Valentine stash that man o' mine gifted me with) and as the taste of the filling exploded inside my mouth, I heard my mother's voice. No, not angels singing because I was experiencing the flavor of most excellent dark chocolate, either!
Mind you, I haven't heard my mother's voice (besides priceless, saved recordings) in 7 years, 3 months and 24 days, but that piece of candy was a flavor my mother really liked and made sure to have around every Christmas. So I had a momentary flash of being in her kitchen, hearing her mention this candy and seeing her eat another piece....
What a wonderful memory. I love the memories that we tucked back into our minds and then they come to life when we smell something or taste something. I am so glad you had such a nice loving memory today..Blessings and have a great weekend..Kathy
