Is there any thing, place, or person that snatches you back in time when you see it? It [or they] force you to take a silent journey to a memorable euphoric place, and all you can do is smile? I’ve got several of those euphoric memory triggers, and one of my most favorite is kept in arm’s reach so that I can visit such classic times on a daily basis if I choose. His name is Shel Silverstein, and the books are The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, and Where the Sidewalk ends. Shel is one of my favorite authors because his books made me snicker, giggle, and laugh uncontrollably when I was younger. And today, when I revisit them I’m reminded of those days, and typically smile because I can’t wait to share these treasures with my future children. And for those of you that do have children, nieces, or nephews, don’t sleep on Shel – Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, and Mother Goose aren’t the only ones that know how to cater to the kids. Look him up, you’ll be glad you did, and the kiddies will love you for it!
Be easy,
