Care Free Childhood

   Childhood is not only a time for experimentation with all of the new things that we have discovered in our lives, but also a time to play and have fun.  I remember when I was a young child and my life was dominated by those dreaded naps which I now love and playing with toys, all the time.  If something bad were to happen one day, no more than a day later, it is forgotten, and the happy-go-lucky times return.  Now, if ever there is a time that I am sad, I think back to when I was a child.  There never was a time when I was “stressed out” or overtired.  I then take a little break and just relax and think. Then life gets back to normal.  Childhood seems to have the ability to do crazy things like run around in the rain or jump in puddles just for fun, without worrying about the loads of laundry mom will have to do to get all of the grass stains and dirt out of your jeans, and sweatshirt.  Children don’t think twice before doing things, they use impulse and have more fun because of this.  I think that when we get stressed and tired, we should take those few minutes and think back to when we were children and life will go back to normal.
