Remembering the aquarium
I can still see those gorgeous and colorful fishes in my mind's eye! Bright yellow, blue, red, and orange! They are swimming around, some swimming lazily and others doing sprightly back strokes. Some of them are racing each other to the glass walls of the aquarium while others are chasing each other.
I stand there with my friends, simply staring at these marvelous little sea creatures. I just love it all and this memory is one that I plucked from my memory bank. This particular memory is over 25 years old but it is in perfect condition. I don't even have to dust it off and now that I have precious little vision, I depend on such memories to keep me going.
This is a memory that I snapped and carefully placed into my memory bank and it is one of an aquarium that my friends and I visited in Boston over 25 years ago. It was a warm summer's day and there we were, as visiting Canadians! Taking in all of those wondrous scenes of Boston.
I barely noticed anyone around me, choosing instead to concentrate fully on those marvelous little swimmers moving along in front of my eyes. They danced, they glided, and they rushed past me not even knowing that I was their attentive and intent admirer. Ah yes! Memories of an aquarium!
I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and inviting you to go out there and share my memories with others. Come by any time and listen to my detective stories at www.donnajodhan.com.
