Shuffling through the mail, I came across an envelope from a school I attended in the 60s; causing pleasant memories to come rushing forth. Opening the letter, I was not surprise it was about reconnecting with old classmates.
Then shadows of unpleasant memories emerged, reminding me all was not peaches and cream, and by reuniting, may have to deal with them. The shadows of past traumatic events are closer to the surface, remain longer, and influence our life more, while pleasant memories; bring us peace, are brought forth more often, and break up the drudgery of everyday life.
My plate is overflowing, time is limited, and I am not sure if I want to add more. Thinking back, the majority of the memories were pleasant as the world was my oyster, and I could always stop corresponding if it became to time consuming.
I response hoping the reconnection will bring new pleasant memories.
