just sayin'

Have you ever shared a story that just didn’t match-up to the last time you told it? I came across this line from someone’s blog (I don’t recall the name of it), and it popped right off the page as if it belonged to me:

“Memory has a way of being true to the mood rather than the fact.”

I know I’ve memorialized a few stories here and there. Some may even have been repetitive. But if you’ve heard the same account more than once and noticed that a few facts seem a bit skewed, know that I’m not fabricating on an otherwise old worn-out telling, I’m just being true to the mood.
