Growing up happens in a heartbeat.
One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone.
But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.
~Kevin Arnold
How very true.
It seemed just yesterday when I...
Trudged away to school in my smart little grey uniform;
Played in the mud ground under the sun;
Built sand castles at the beach;
Rowed paper boats in dirty water puddles;
Blew soap bubbles, coz I simply loved to ;
Oh those days!
When happiness was a natural state of mind and everything seemed so perfect;
When shooting stars, rainbows and butterflies filled in me a sense of awe and admiration;
When saying sorry and making up was so easy;
When abc and tables were the only things that mattered
and backpacks were the only burdens;
When sleep was a punishment and bed time was scary
and grandma's tales were the only things that could put me to sleep;
When 'mum' was the word, that meant the world...
How I wish I could go back and live all those awesome days again!...Recollecting those precious days has for sure, brought a big smile on my face and immense joy to my heart.
So, sit back for a while today and reminisce on those amazing days, they sure will have a story to say. :)
