What makes you feel nostalgic?
By Tracy Schruder
“Flipping through old family photographs always brings a wave of nostalgia, especially when I’m with a family member who lived those moments with me.
There’s laughter, tears, and long talks about the precious memories we’ve made over fifty-something years.
My heart and mind reunite, and I’m right back to childhood – soggy boots from playing in the snow too long, building snow forts, dragging siblings and friends on sleds. I smell warm cocoa and cookies, see boots and mitts scattered on the foyer floor, feel red cheeks filled with laughter from long days skating on our local rink .
I still feel the cold snowy kisses from the boy who stole my heart. And those summer days – all us village kids, tanned and smiling, gathered in the sun… That nostalgic feeling warms my heart.”
