Remember when…

Life seemed so slow and simple, the winters were filled with snow and fun. We made igloos, snowman and played outside for hours, then we came inside to cookies and hot cocoa… The fresh cool air filled our lungs with life…

That first smell of Springtime, when the birds would sing and you knew “April showers would bring May flowers”…
The end of the school year was almost here… Vacation was just around the corner.

The warmth of the Summer sun was so delightful. Those days where endless,
hours of outdoor fun with friends, no school for 40 months (so it seemed) swimming, BBQ Picnics so much Joy, newness all around… Life was so simple…

Then… there was those special nights at the Drive In theater…
The family, the food, the love, those little animated dancing hotdogs on the huge screen… The speakers were placed in the window, the window was rolled up by hand…
It was a time in life that seem to stand still… A simpler time!

The colors of Fall would arrive… You knew something special was taking place. Fall and its beauty, the crisp air and all the great smells we would come to remember as adults… Apple cider, fresh donuts, grandma, baking something homemade…

Today I am thankful to say
“I can remember when…”

“Today will be tomorrow and tomorrow will be a yesterday …. Live in the moment… Create memories today for tomorrow’s yesterday’s”

In awe of life…
