I was sorting through some boxes in the loft last week when I came across my childhood. The moment that I saw my faded old friend, powerful memories flooded back from nearly 50 years before. ____36____ . Not all objects trigger such welcome memories. However. I once had to throw a pair of running shorts. Because they reminded me too much of the day I tripped and ended up in A&E with a broken wrist! ____37____.

In an instant I was reconnected with how I felt — at an extremely happy time of my life E. But maybe I was too hasty F. They also help us avoid the mistakes of the past G.
