30 Days of Courtney. Day #5

A picture of my favorite memory...

Okay. This one was hard for me and I finally realized that there is no way I could come up with a favorite memory, or even one that was really good, because I remember EVERYTHING. My mom is often amazed at all the things I remember. Even small, seemingly insignifigant details from seeminly insignifigant days in my life are clear in my head.

I love how certain songs or smells can trigger a memory and bring you right back to a specific moment in your life just like it was yesterday. This happens to me all the time. My favorite is when I smell a smell that reminds me of my grandparents house when I was a little girl. I also love the smell of the fair and love when that memory is triggered.

Songs are the best. Sometimes I can hear a song and I literally have to stop dead in my tracks and relish in the monent that I am brought back to. So, instead of a picture, I have a video. It is a song called, "The Song Remembers When" by Trisha Yearwood. It perfectly explains what I have not so perfectly explained, and I can listen to it over and over and over again.

So have you heard that there are some people who can remember EVERYTHING, like you tell them a date and they can remember exactly what happened that day either to them or in the world.
Mary Lou Henner is one of them. She is one of a rare few who have this ability. That would be so cool if you did, too! You should look it up to see if you remember things that specifically, too. I don't know what the ability is called, but 60 minutes did a special on it!
