Sunny, cloudless blue skies. I spent a lot of time staring at the sky as a kid. Warm, clear days take me back to a time when I was bursting with potential and excitement for what life had to offer.

Generally smells trigger for me. There are 3 songs which instantly produce tears, all related to the death of one person 20 years ago.

Pictures of long past good times and good memories always evoke nostalgic feelings with me. Sometimes, old songs have the same effect on me.

The memory of smells is probably the most reliable in accuracy and duration. For me, the smell of creosote and freshly cut grass takes me straight back to one spring day 1967 when I was 4 years old, as if it was only yesterday.

Definitely music- especially alternative bands from the 90s and early 2000s make me think of all the fun times I had w/my hubby and close friends at concerts while crowdsurfing over mosh-pits.

Summertime at the park near my house when I was a kid. I was in Little League and I remember the smell of popcorn wafting from the concession stand and the taste of a cold Pepsi after the game.
