It made me smile. It released a flood of memories. I remember feeling full from the huge pot of mussels I had eaten earlier. I remember the taste of Belgian beer on my tongue. I remember feeling warm, finally, after days of trudging through cold, rainy London and Paris. I remember the first time I set eyes on the Grote Markt at night, lit up in fantastic blues and purples and filled with people. I remember wanting to soak up every moment in the beautiful city. I remember feeling so happy and like the words on the wall were speaking right to me.
For the first time in a long time, I let my guard down today. I let myself remember things I had long ago tucked away in the back corners of my mind. I smiled. I laughed. I felt grateful for the experiences and the memories. I felt grateful for time.
