First Time – Every Time

Do you remember the first time you…  well, fill in the blank. A wonderful Life Skill is the ability to recreate the first time a you experienced something.  There is magic in first times. A bit of a tune from my past started playing itself in my ear, as tunes often do for me.   It was orchestral, and lively, and I knew that I knew it.  The problem was, it was only a few bars long.  I tried to remember it, to pull out  [ Read More ]
