Remembering a Simpler Life

Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink. That is the finest of suppers, I think; when I'm grown up and can have what I please I think I shall always insist upon these. - Christopher Morley, author & journalist The importance of not being too grown up Children are so convinced of their ways and implicitly trust their own instincts. Clearly if it tastes good, it must be good for you! Delight in the experiences of your youth today. Reflect upon the simple pleasures of carefree living. What can you do to indulge yourself in a healthy way? Put down the bills and laundry and have a tea party or puppet show. Take a spin on the swing set or jump on the bed. Not only will you burn off some energy, but you'll also be taken back to an innocent, worry-free time in your life. A time when you wore pajamas with feet and weren't such a big girl. Remember the importance of an occasional childlike moment. Reading this today on Sparkpeople, got me to thinking about things from my own childhood....way back before I had bills to worry about, a job that took me away from home, or kids and grand kids to love and grieve over. Oh how simple life was back then when mom would send us out the door in the morning and we wouldn't come back until we heard her whistle at night. I wonder if she was worrying about how she was going to put food on the table for five kids while I was busy playing house in the cinder block coal bin that sat outside the back door. While I was swinging on the swing set and sliding down the slide at the Victory Heights playground was she wondering where the money was going to come from for five pairs of shoes. When I was jumping on the bed and swinging my pillow at the head of my big sister was mom getting her clothes laid out and ready for work the next day? When we were racing down Cherry Street Hill on our sleds was she trying to find someone to loan her some money to fix the car? How much easier it is to be a kid and to be free of all of these worries. I take this moment to thank you, mom and I think I'll turn off the computer and go read a story to my grand kids.

Ahhhhh.......Summertime

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY July 6, 2009

Outside my window...It is a beautiful summer day. The sun is shining and it is 79f.

I am thinking...that the weekend went by fast but we had a lot of fun.

I am thankful for...the great family that I have.

From the kitchen...we have many leftovers and I don't think I can suggest they have another hamburger for supper tonight.

I am wearing...my scrubs...I will be going to work soon.

I am creating...nothing right now.

I am going...to try my hardest to get the office stuff packed up this week.

I am reading...'Stranger in Paradise'

I am hoping...the summer will slow down some but I know that it won't .

I am hearing...'All my Children' in the background.

Around the house...I need to work on getting the office furniture ready to move and pick out the paint color for the dining room.

One of my favorite things...is homemade fruit salad...yum it was good!

A few plans for the rest of the week:more of the same...Harley is in Adventure Camp this week and Darian is at Boys and Girls Club.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Sunday Stealing

The "I've Come to Realize" Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!

Today we ripped this meme off a blog and blogger known as UKOK. She explains that she was tagged by Val on Facebook. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!
