ROSE-COLORED GLASSES
“When you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose-colored glasses…”Jordana Brewster
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In memory’s soft glow, the TV screen flickers alive, time stretches like taffy, the theme song lingers, a melody transporting me through the portal of childhood. The laughter of a cartoon, the adventure of a western, the wisdom of a sitcom, a sprinkle of magic dust, and suddenly, the mundane was extraordinary. In the sepia tones of nostalgia, I find a bittersweet truth: the rose-colored glasses tint the past with warmth, softening the edges of reality. those moments, though fleeting, are the roots of who I am, the laughter still lingers, and the magic? It lives on, like a rerun.

Ahh, Sara, this verse brings back so many memories for me as well; those were the good ol' days for sure. That appears to be the Lone Ranger they are watching in the pic? John
