Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!

I was driving behind a car, a bright blue Hyundai Elantra or something like that. It was the prettiest shade of royal blue, brightly colored and the lights were an odd shape, I guess to give it that ‘buy-me-because-I-look-different’ look. The bulbs were bright red in color, even though it was still daylight out.


Then the oddest thing happened. It triggered some type of memory, a memory that I couldn’t really define but that made me inexplicably happy as I sat behind this car, waiting for the traffic lights to change, with a big silly grin on my face!


I could vaguely remember brightly colored toys, perhaps a doll play set (you know tea set) with those very colors and I was as happy as can be.


There's a term that this type of memory is called. I can't remember? Anyway, it was a weird moment and one I can’t really explain!

I know exactly what you mean!  I saw this bolt of fabric in Wal-Mart and the same thing happened,  then one night there was an advertisement for a movie,  an old movie,  and the lead female was wearing a costume in that color and I remembered having seen that movie as a child.

Now I've been seeing a lot of the color mint green or sort of a seagreen color lately and can't place it,  seems like I had a doll wearing a dress with that color...

Isn't this a weird thing though?!

Yes! I thought it was too. At least it's happy memories!
