Continuing Down Memory Lane
I remember feeling like there was no problems in the world. I think back on it now and say to myself, “Wow! Was I really that blinded to the real world in which I lived?” “Did my parents shelter me from all the harm and evil that exists in the world, or was it my angels that kept me safe and protected?” Maybe it was a combination of both. I wonder if any of the comforts found in childhood could be utilized in adulthood.
Somewhere along the way, we lose our natural ability to find simple pleasures. Where that point is; I am not sure. I guess we all have different time lines, but 90% of us do lose it!
I will continue to find ways to incorporate different, simple measures, back into my life to make it a more “comfortable” place to be.
“Never loose the child in you. It is that, which keeps you full of life, full of love; full of happiness!”

Yes Lucid you are so right. It’s very important to keep the child within alive and active!

Isn’t it something how we as adults are told to stop acting childish if we are being silly and having fun. It is almost like society tells us to be an adult means to be serious all the time. No wonder why we are all so stressed out all the time. It’s too bad really.

Hi Desiree, I know…. It is VERY important to keep the “light of your inner child” shinning, for if you don’t, surely you will wilt. It is what keeps us ALIVE and not just living.
Thank you for your thoughts

Gosh Sandy, if that isn’t true! I think of how we are put down for being free spirited and carefree. I guess some people may view it as being irresponsible. I mean there is a time for play and a time for serious matters. But too much of ANYTHING is no good.
I have posted your question. Thanks for writing in

My childhood wasn’t always good. My daddy was an alcoholic so until my mom left him things got bad around the house. I was able to make better memories as a teenager though. I try and forget the years before that
…. But that is life. I have forgiven him. He has been sober for many years thank God!

Hi Amy, thanks for sharing! Alcoholism is a tuff thing to deal with! I am glad you made it through and I am very glad your dad has been in sober for years.
Forgiveness is the best thing for healing and it aides in the ability to move forward.
Stay strong
