For some reason, this week I’ve been on a Maxwell kick. He has been crooning in my ear while I work, and I believe that I’m all the better for it. My writing has been silky (if I must say so myself) and I am going to give the credit to Max.
Here’s one of my favorites…I give to you with a warning: you may just experience wild flutterings of the heart and breathless moments while listening.

Every once and again, the memories come flooding back. They push everything out of the way and take up residence, front and center.
I sometimes wish that I could put them away for good, these memories. They only serve to remind me of something that I do not have, something that I let get away. They hurt, even when they feel good.
They show up regardless of how busy I am, or what I am trying to be. They show up making me yearn for a do over, or at the very least, an instant replay.
The reality is, I am here and I cannot move backwards. But the memories don’t know that and they still creep into my mind, sometimes in the middle of the night when my defenses are low. I can’t fight them, so I will embrace them and welcome them back.
They are, after all, just memories.
