Today's Reflection
The human brain forgets ninety percent of what goes on.
--Jan Milner
There were two women who shared a house and raised their daughters, two toddlers, together. Then one of the women got transferred to another city and moved with her daughter.
Ten years later, they had a reunion. The mothers asked their kids what they remembered about living together. Did they remember all the books? No. Did they remember a mom in the kitchen every morning, fixing eggs and toast? No.
What they remembered was playing in the pink bathtub for hours, pulling the pink shower curtain shut for privacy. And the morning the mothers sneaked in, turned off the lights, threw plastic cups and spoons over the curtain and cried, "It's raining spoons!" They laughed and laughed.
We are lucky in this life - our minds think laughter is what's worth remembering.
What laughter from yesterday can I remember today?

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

mud pies-actually SAND pies===growing up we had a summer cottage- and the neighbors at the lake had very shallow water- we could sit in the water at their dock and "cook" mudpies! (our dock was much deeper and full of seaweed!)
wonderful memories!!!!!!!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

A favorite memory of mine is dark summer evenings running through the neighborhood playing hide and seek. It was a safer time and we had the freedom to play outside on those hot, hot evenings until long past dark hiding behind bushes, under cars, around corners, jumping out and running like the wind to the "safe" tree! What a joyous, carefree rush that was!
