Rose tinted glasses

When we look back fondly to times long gone, do we look back through rose tinted glasses?

Example. I've been working on getting fit again. As I ran along the beach yesterday until I had to slow down because I started to feel sick, first I chastised myself thinking about how when I was a teenager I could have ran full sprint for miles. I was actually the fast runner in my school for pretty much the whole time I was there. Ah yes, the rose tinted glasses were on. I took off said rose tinted glasses and remembered that while it is true, I was the fastest in the school, and could leave anyone for dust in a 100m sprint, I used to burn out very quickly, and I'd be the one getting lapped in the 1000m. I chastise myself now for not being able to maintain a run for any distance in in one go, but then I couldn't do it when I was in my prime. I was good at some things, rubbish at other things. The rose tinted glasses are for some reason opaque to the things I was not so good at

 

As you say Clueless, I think the rose tinted glasses work depending on what you are looking at through them.

.......and I was the other way round to you, always good at cross country but not sprinting, can't do either now.
