I really have no clear memory of the circumstances surrounding the out-burst from the above picture. Obviously, it was a sunny day at the beach, which may, and regularly should, be enough to elicit such a demonstration of unbridled enthusiasm and joy. Any other contributing factors have morphed into cerebral haze. However, one glance at this photo brings back the elation I felt for whatever reason – the memory of the emotion remains and gives birth to an equally real response even today. To have truly felt in life, whether for happiness or pain, may be the truest gift we can give ourselves.
