Childhood

One of my favorite things to do is reflect on memories from childhood. The other day, my friend Jessica and I were enthusiastically sharing some childhood experiences. It always makes me feel warm, happy, and very grateful that I am able to hold on to these precious thoughts. Some of my favorites:

-Riding bikes, everywhere.
-Climbing trees, I used to have a big back yard full of them.
-Playing house, dolls, and Barbies.
-Night games with the neighborhood kids.
-Game night which always featured some sort of card game.
-Camping out, in the back yard.
-Feeding the ducks at the lake.
-Filming our own renditions of music videos and SNL skits.
-Playing mermaids with my sister in our backyard pool.
-Listening to my grandpa’s stories about his life that didn’t interest me then, but I am forever thankful for now.
-Garage sale Christmas presents that my mom was so proud to have bought for so cheap.
-Arts and crafts time with my little sister.
-Dreaming a lot, and letting my imagination be all that I needed.
