To Be A Child Again


There are so many good things about a summer's day.


  • Freshly washed clothes on a clothesline.
  • Naps.
  • Having an unofficial bubble-blowing contest with the unseen kid in the balcony above, who so obviously copied you and sadly thinks he can out bubble you.
  • Last day of school.
  • Making mud pies.
  • Picking flowers..."he loves me, he loves me not"...
  • Laying on the grass and watching the clouds go by.
  • Waiting around for something or nothing.
  • The smell of freshly cut grass (before your allergies kick in).
  • Popsicles, ice cream, hot dogs...
  • Running through sprinklers until you're exhausted.
  • Water balloon fights (especially when you get that bastard).
  • Unplanned picnics and a good book to read.
  • Cherry blossoms. Lots of 'em.
  • Trying to skip stones even though you never could (and still can't).
  • Spraying the garden hose on an unsuspecting friend.
  • Dipping your toes in the ocean.
  • Staring at the stars with a good friend, and a cookie.
  • Scratching mosquito bites.
  • Feeling like the day is endless.
  • Having a bit of hope.
