Things I wish I would have appreciated more when I was a kid:
-Lazy days-What is a lazy day...I can't remember! Too much to do with 4 kids.
-The ability to read a book without interruptions-I can't even get a page in without 14 interruptions! Not even a magazine!
-Being able to eat anything and everything in sight and NEVER putting on a pound!!!-I was SO tall and skinny and I ate like a horse! Course, I rode my bike constantly, ran everywhere instead of walking, played outside ALL OF THE TIME, lived across the street from an elementary school so we just ran and played basketball, football, baseball, anything and everything all day long.
-Food, clothing, housing, transportation, fun- Yep! It was all just provided! I didn't even think about how or why or anything, just completely took for granted that when I opened my drawer, clothes would be there. When I was hungry there was food to eat. We had a roof over our heads and cars to drive and everything we needed. It just HAPPENED...magically!!!
-Some days I wish I could go back to those days just so I could appreciate it a little more! It's been one of those kind of scary grown up days where it isn't all secure and perfect and I have that grown up pit in the middle of my stomach. Not my favorite kind of days. So, I'm just wishing for one of those carefree, secure, blissful days of youth.........that's not too much to ask...is it???...just for one day......

Oh the days....what I wouldn't give to be carefree and careless again too! Of course I wouldn't want to do it ALL again, but I'd sure like a go of it with what I know now! And why is it that with what we do know now, we still are afraid of just letting loose and having some fun....probably because we know all too well what lies in store when we do - and we are just too dang tired and broke.
Someday......someday......
Yep those were the good ole days!
