A friend of mine recently sent me a great list of "The Good Times," a list of simpler things and an easier, less encumbered life. So today, I offer a majority of you a moment to reflect on just a few of my favorites that really hit home and to take a break from your daily grind for a brief recess . . .
Hide and seek,
Kickball and dodgeball,
Hopscotch and jump rope,
Tag!
Saturday morning cartoons,
Catching lightning bugs,
Running through anybody's sprinklers,
Icepops with two sticks - to share with a friend!
Climbing trees,
Swinging as high as you can,
Jumping off the swingset,
Jumping in leaf piles!
Cards in your spokes,
Mulberry fights,
Finding cloud figures,
Kool-aid!
Eeny-meeny, miny, mo,
Do-over,
One potato, two potato,
52 card pick-up!
Helping neighbors,
Moms were home after school,
ANY mom could discipline ANY kid,
Respect!
Fun lasted all day,
Board games lasted for weeks,
We drank from the hose,
We were exhausted from playing.
Take your own trip down memory lane. I'm certain a fair amount of you are smiling, rolling around a recollection or two. I hope it helps you through your day!
Thank you so much...this has brought an ear to ear smile to my faceand many happy memories to front and center! Love u
