The place remains in my dreamslike a movie set preserved… Have assigned each rooma critique – disclosed the crimes Yet, it remains, like a beacondraws me to it, begs reflection What if I could go backnow that I can breathe Now that I’ve laid claim to maturity;would I discover a sudden windfall? Makeover conditioned motifs;reevaluate […]

Such an important message with so few words. Imagination creates reality so I am on its side, always! Is that your own image too? It’s stunning.

This is so relatable. I wouldn’t even consider doing some of the things I used to do. Unfortunately, my inner child is stifled.

I feel like that some days too – afraid of COVID, afraid of falling…, I have to remind myself to live despite it.

May we never lose the joy of our inner child! Like you, I’ve become more risk-averse as I’ve grown older, probably with good reason. Sometimes I think of the things my brothers and I did as kids and marvel that we lived to adulthood.😁

Lol. Reminds me of my 5-year-old granddaughter who says I’m a crazy lady and then admits that she makes people crazy.
