Triggered Memories


Interesting article on memory research. I've always found it fascinating how memories are triggered ... an image of a flower, the smell of bread baking or honeysuckles growing, the familiar flavor of chocolate ice cream on a hot day, the sound of water flowing in a creek, the feel of a warm blanket. One of my favorite memories is of being at my grandparents place as a child. Wild blackberries grew everywhere. Now, every time I see or taste a blackberry it takes me back there. Do you have a favorite memory? What triggers that memory?
