While I would love to be this thin, young girl again, I wonder if girls today would be caught dead in cut off shorts. This was a generation of doing with what you had and making it last. At least, this was how it was with my family.
I was blessed to grow up in a two-parent family where weekends were spent with the simple pleasures of camping. My family shared our time together playing board games and cards along with a lot of laughter.
Dad is gone and time with Mom is occasional, but these memories will hold me for a lifetime. May you all find those sweet moments in your life to see you through the rough patches.
Well written and thoughtful. You are absolutely correct, we are very fortunate and blessed with loving family and friends. It's these memories that form our lives today. Looking forward to traveling through this next decade with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being thin again and able to wear my short, short cut off shorts! Though I would probably look ridiculous by today's standards. Nice memories for you and your family. The good old fashioned fun that you share with others is a gift from your childhood. Hope your rough patches are seldom.
ReplyDeleteLove your thoughts.
