Youth

Today was the book fair, being held in the Quad at work. As I stepped outside (around 10 a.m.), a cool breeze was blowing, along with a sweet scent of flowers and freshly cut grass. As I inhaled, it brought back those long-ago days of grade school during Fall. I would walk to the bus stop and enjoy the wonderful smells of fresh air, grass, and that feeling of…being young? I’m not sure, but I felt it.

How great that I was purchasing books for my 5 year old Niece. It just fit the feeling and the smells. I picked up 2 books…Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy, and something a little older, “Clementine”. It’s supposed to be something like the “Ramona the Pest” books that I grew up with in elementary school. I used to love reading about Ramona and her mean sister Beezus, and her doll Chevrolet. How she would sing the song at school about the Donzer lee light, and wonder what a Donzer was. I pray that my Beanie has the same love of books and stories that I do.

I also picked up a new journal. Although I journal less now that I blog, I’ve made a commitment to make sure that I blog and journal and promised myself that if I don’t do a journal entry that I don’t get to blog….thus the gap you see on the blogspot. I can go back and fill in some blanks on the Dizbizz site, but not the other way around. Oh well.

Anyway, it was fun reminiscing about one of the few times in my childhood that I enjoyed.
