Was going through my quit jounal and came across this one. I apologize to whomever wrote it for not being able to properly autheticize it....I think it may have come from Ladybugg. It brought tears of joy and sorrow and many many memories long forgotten. Quote Just thought ya'll might wanna escape from the difficulties of life, quitting smoking, etc. We all try so hard to improve ourselves and I think sometimes we need to take a break and reflect on past good times. When life seemed so easy! So I received this today from a friend and wanted to share it with you all. I hope it brings some smiles and maybe some happy tears. Life's short & I think sometimes we get lost in trying to succeed that we forget what's really important. Close your eyes...And go back... Before the Internet or the MAC Before semi automatics and crack Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back... I'm talking about hide-and-go seek. Red light, Green light. Playing kickball & dodge ball until your porch light came on. Mother May I? Red Rover Hula Hoops Running through the sprinkler Happy Meals Wait... Watching Saturday Morning cartoons Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos Playing Dukes of Hazard Catching lightning bugs in a jar Christmas morning... Your first day of school Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses Climbing trees Getting an Ice Cream off the Ice Cream Truck A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers Jumping down the steps Jumping on the bed Pillow fights Running 'til you were out of breath Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt Being tired from playing... Your first crush... Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7Up" in the class room. Remember that? I'm not finished yet... Kool-aid was the drink of summer Toting your friends on your handle bars Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school Class Field Trips When nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids got there. When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a miracle. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.
