I am blowing the whistle on nostalgia

Definition: A sentimental longing or wistful affection for A period or place with happy personal associations

Of course there’s a time and place to grieve.

And There’s more time behind me now than in front

memories good and sad

I once feared most 

that I would never Feel the pain of loss

I was Overly defended.

Grief means that there was something precious that came and went

Something to be celebrated.

Sometimes, something as mundane as a piece of cake can flip the switch on wistful longing.

And bring me present to joy

To new loves 

Right now we are making memories.
