A long time friend had this pic on face book today - I love it - I stole it!
It conjures up so many memories ~ of youth and the knowledge that your freedom to play all day (without your mom really knowing exactly where you were), still came with the assurance that you were safe & secure and all was well with the world!
Why is it so hard to just let yourself run with that sweet abandon now?
Remember those warm wonderful feelings of childhood when you felt so free and filled with enough energy to power a nation - well, at least the neighborhood?!
So many trees to climb.
So many fields to run in.
So much sunshine to soak up.
So many clouds to watch while laying on your back in the cool grass.
So many night games to play;
hide & seek
red rover
ghost stories
star gazing.
Playing dolls, jacks, marbles.
Cops & robbers.
Cowboys & Indians.
Climbing haystacks.
Riding horses.
Eating citrus and dates and blackberries 'til you were sick.
Drinking from the hose so you didn't have to go inside when you got thirsty?
Mud pies.
Swimming.
Eating watermelon warm off the vine in the field.
aah---
Didn't that feel GREAT?!
