What triggers it?

From time to time in the middle of doing something, out of nowhere a thought can pop up front and center in your mind.  It can catch you by surprise making you wander where on earth did that come from. It can be a smell that triggers it. It can be triggered by a number of ways. I know when I walk through a flea market there are many old memories that pop up as I see something. Like seeing the gawdy lamp my aunt had in her house. Before you know it I have enjoyed reliving a couple of memories I had forgotten about at her house. After I walked through the whole flea market seeing many things my family had owned in the past, it felt like I just had a family reunion. By the time you are my age you realize the memories you have stored away won't come out unless something triggers it. Of course not all the triggered memories do we want to relive. So when a negative memory pops up JUST FLUSH IT so you don't relive it.
