On nostalgia

The other day, while at the store, your humble blogger came across this:


This automatically took me back to my childhood as this was one of my favorite drinks at the time. Not only that,  this flashed me back to my specific memories of going to the hair salon and drinking this with whatever meal I'd get from the pizza place next door. It was a reminder of some good times.

Sometimes, nostalgia seems to maligned as there are too many instances in which it's employed in a rose colored glasses kind of way.  However, nostalgia doesn't have to be all that bad.  While many people have argued with a more clear and concise rationale than your humble blogger can do here, it's worth reiterating- sometimes , thinking back on the good times in life can be a buoy when life bugs you down.
