Memories of a sunny day

As clear as crystal, I can still sit and picture a sunny day in my mind. In early 2004, I lost almost all of my vision due to a very unfortunate retinal detachment. Unfortunate it was but it did not erase my memories in any way and as a matter of fact, it helped to strengthen my resolve to retain all of my memories forever.

Ah yes! Memories of a sunny day! I am walking along and can see my shadow as I look downwards. I see soft green grass as I walk and then without any warning, I am drawn to the grass and proceed to walk gingerly through the thick carpet of greenery. I stop for a bit to admire the surrounding shrubbery and the sweet smelling flowers. They are all there, swaying gently in the breeze. Yellow ones, red ones, pink ones, and orange ones. I stop for a moment to bend and gently touch their petals and smell their fragrances.

As I continue on, my path is invaded by birds chasing each other above my head. They cast fleeting shadows in front of me and I stop to hear them at play. Then I look around me and stand for a moment to admire the trees with thick foliage and long branches.

There are other memories of a sunny day for me to share with you. A sandy beach with golden sand and white-capped waves rolling gently towards the shore. A bluish greenish sea at my disposal with boats sailing quietly not too far away. Deep blue skies are above me and fluffy white clouds are drifting by. On the beach, there are lots of persons; kids are building castles and making pools. There are adults sunning themselves and others walking along in all kinds of various clothes.

There are so many other memories for me to share with you, but I’ll stop here and invite you now to share these with others.
