Remember

Remember when???  Seems like as we age we talk about the past a lot; remembering this, that and everything else.  A lot of times that remembering involves the price of gas or the price of housing or the food eat.  Sometimes the remembering involves what we did as a child.  Now that is interesting to me for this reason.  Why is it we can remember so much about our childhood but very little about last week or yesterday for that matter??  I guess it goes to show you childhood is important because someday that's all you are going to remember!!
