Interesting Recollections.

As the years pass, it is memories that can be good and bad. A highlight of my former school years was the celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second. We all received a decorated mug marking the occasion. The young queen was watched with many pairs of eyes following her every move and since many might say that she has strenuously committed her whole being to bringing prestige and admiration to the position of the Head of State. I have some concern that future heads of state will have some difficulty in matching her ability.

Who does not like seeing a film? One of my first memories was as a toddler, being taken to see Alice in Wonderland. It might just have been one of those things, that the only seats available in the cinema were very close to the huge screen. The sound and dynamic action left a vivid memory of the Queen of Hearts demanding, off with her head! Even now, I am haunted by the Mad Hatters' unbirthday party and every now and again, the Cheshire Cat and that identifiable grin will appear in the vague recollections of my mind.

Years ago I was sat on the bus on the way home, when I accidentally overheard two ladies sitting opposite me say “did you know J F Kennedy has been shot?” Since that day there has always been controversy over what really took place on that fateful day.

Thinking about memories and controversy, there is always the Flat Earth and Landing on the Moon theories, as well as the question of are there really any Aliens and unidentified flying objects out there? I think any or all of these topics will always be an interesting constant point of conversation.

While the context of happy memories might vary and what constitutes for them alter according to people, places and time, the recollections themselves can always be worthwhile. Invest in making significant memories and motivate recollection of them, because encounters can have all sorts of positive influences in what you learn, appreciate or go on to do about them.
