Feel where your mind takes you

It's just a building. Walls, windows, tiles and doors. It has no heart of it's own or blood running through it's pipes. But inside this building are people which bring it alive. They give it energy, a personality and a heart. This particular building, because of the memories and the history I have in it, evokes emotions in me. I haven't been back in years, but words and sights from way back when come flooding in as I step through the automatic doors.

They're only doors, only halls. But I bet I'd be able to go to the exact room, the exact places locked in my history. The building has changed, moved forward with the times. But pictures of how it was are etched in my memory. I haven't accessed these exact memories for a very long time.

But the place, the building bring them all forward as if it was yesterday.

This hospital is where my mother received her final diagnosis.

With this thought I search in the filing cabinet of my memory for places that hold wonderful, joyful, happy memories. I think they should be tomorrow's destination.

Where are you going tomorrow?
