When you wrote that daydreaming sometimes takes you back to a memory from your childhood, it made me think of something I have often thought about. Why is it that I lived with my parents for 18 years and I've lived with Spike for almost 43... years...but the first 18 years seem so much more memorable or important to me? I don't think I'm using the right words to describe what I want to say, but when you voiced that you thought your childhood took you back to time of less worry I thought....maybe that's it. No huge responsibilities, not many worries (although I did have a few worries....that my parents would get divorced or die, that we wouldn't have enough money, that there would be a war, a tornado would hit NP....to name a few). Someone said maybe it's because the earlier years were my formidable years...maybe that's it. Though I feel like I'm still learning, and having my girls was one of the most important things I've ever done...I more often think about the period when I lived with my parents, brother, and sister as being the time that was most influencial. Tell me your thoughts!
It is an Interesting idea to ponder Cindy. They say the time that you learn the most or really develop your personality is until you are 3 years old. Maybe the world is still so pure in our eyes when we are kids that we are only worried about the crazy and unlikely scenarios. This was the time when we grew the fastest but the world was still so new that learning was fun and we dreamed about being adults and there were no limits to the possibilities. I don’t know about you but the things that I have had to learn as an adult have been nothing but psychological growth experiences in heartache, money, love and patients. Don’t get me wrong, of course there are the greatest moments too that you can only experience as an adult like travel, love, children & freedom. But as an adult there comes so much responsibility and soon you are creating the fun that once came so naturally as a child. What do you think?
