I know people who can only think about their happy childhood days. They remember what they wore! No skies have since been so blue, or grass so green. They therefore miss the opportunities of the wonderful now.
I will tell an amusing story of a friend who lived in a town when she was very young, then moved away to another city. She always looked back to the house they first lived in, to her it was an enchanted palace, large, spacious and glamorous.
Many years after, when she had grown up, she had an opportunity of visiting this house. She was disillusioned, she found it small, stuffy and ugly. Her idea of beauty had entirely changed, for in the front yard was an iron dog.
If you went back to your past, it would not be the same. So in this friend's family, they called living in the past, "iron dogging."
Her sister told me a story of some "iron dogging" she had done. When she was about sixteen, she met abroad, a very dashing and romantic young man, an artist. This romance didn't last long, but she talked about it a lot to the man she afterwards married.
Years rolled by, the dashing and romantic young man, had become a well-known artist and came to this country to have an exhibition of his pictures. My friend was filled with excitement, and hunted him up to renew their friendship. She went to his exhibition, and in walked a portly business man, no trace was left of the dashing romantic youth! When she told her husband, all he said was, "iron dogging."
