Trying to get my blog post back up top so others can see it...
okay I think I am going to try to post my blog in a comment to see if it will accept it. Wish me luck! Remember when we were children and our imaginations were rich? Even to the point when we thought we could actually fly? Okay, so maybe trying to fly does not apply to all of you, but it sure did me! I was always trying to emulate Peter Pan, Superman, or Dumbo! I seriously thought that I could attach a towel to my clothes, hold a feather (admittingly a tiny down one from my pillow), think happy thoughts and fly to never land...away from everything and to a place where I could live happily ever after. I tried running down sidewalks as fast as I could, the wind blowing my hair back, making my towel flap behind me...then I would JUMP! Jump as hard as I could.....Now keep in mind that I am clumsy...very clumsy. Did I achieve flight? NO! I only succeeded in tripping over a foot or a blade of grass and doing a face-plant! lol...Nevertheless, that never stopped me. I tried climbing trees, my dresser, anything that was not too high in my opinion. I only fell out off of them, but luckily never broke a bone! (Knocks on wood).No idea how I managed that one, but I was lucky! lol....But I still deluded myself that I did fly! I lifted off the ground for half an inch! Or whatever my child brain decided lol. Then as I grew up and left my imaginative world behind and became immersed into the world of an adult. I still live in a world of imagination, but now it just goes into stories or poems. Then I had an epiphany today. Even though we are adults, we can still live an imagination in our heads! When we get on a plane we can pretend that we achieved the flight we always wanted to attain when young! Okay, okay, I know...it is not the same, but still...we can pretend, and remember, and smile for a moment, right? I cannot wait until my daughter gets a little older. I will run around the house with a towel tied to my clothing and one tied to hers...and this time she will be the one to fly! I will hold her and zoom her around the room...I wish someone did that for me as a kid! I think I would have really thought I flew! lol ....Okay, I know this was...random, but I am rather random. Silly topic, sure, but I was thinking why have we lost touch with that imaginative side of ourselves? Why do we become afraid to let loose and play...after all, Those days were a lot of fun when everything was within our reach. The days when we could be anything we wanted to be, an astronaut, a fireman, or even a dog! *blushes* Yes, even I pretended I was a dog a time or two as a kid. I would crawl on hands and knees and 'talk' to my puppy in barks...well attempted barks...but hey! at least puppy and I had fun! lol ...Okay, maybe I was or am weird, but still...Do you ever wonder how the world would be if we all held onto the child inside of us somewhere? One that may still be there crying in a corner because he or she feels forgotten? I think I will be a child today! My daughter loves when I do that stuff lol. Oh well, at least she has fun and I have fun with her. Eccentrically Yours, Lynn

I think the site may be having html problems? Or something. Several people have said they left me comments on my poetry, but, it never shows up. Hopefully MM will have it corrected. It's not you.....hahahaha......
The great thing about the "little girl / little boy" inside is that they are always there. They don't leave. We adults just choose to keep the door shut at times. Mine is wide open, always has been. I just tend to control the playground activities? hahaha
Love your thoughts. M

GAH! What is it with the blogs not posting anything I type??? I KNOW this one was not offensive at all! It was about children and imaginations!
