Thirty days of me...

Thirty Days....
Now that I've updated my website, I really want to try to bring you a post a day about life. Whether it be something silly that happened during my day, what I worked on, or what I was thinking about -  pretty much anything and everything.

So, I'm going to kick off Day One with a blast from the past. SPOKEY DOKEYS!

Who remembers them?

Who sported them on their tires?

I remember riding my yellow, banana seat bike around the neighborhood with my tires decked out in rainbow colors. As each pedal went around, it was music to my ears. You could hear my bike coming long before I got to my destination. As a kid, I remember feeling like nothing could stop me as the wind whistled through my hair.

I looked as cool as I felt.

Now, I'm on a mission to find more of my favorite things from my childhood. There's no greater feeling than reminiscing about the best days of your life.

Think about it....what makes you go back in time?

I can still smell the paste from preschool, the crayons from Kindergarten, and the stink bombs (some kind of horrific smelling fruit or nut) that fell from the giant tree overlooking the see-saws on the playground. I remember going to the pool with my friends while my parents worked. We had the square pizza from the concession stand for lunch, and Cow Tails or Chick-o-sticks for dessert. The scent of chlorine lingered on my bathing suit the rest of the summer despite being washed over and over.

If I could go back in time, I'd be a kid again. There's not a single thing I would do differently, but I'd make sure to suck up every ounce of joy each day before I grew another year older.

Enjoy the little things in life.

Stop and smell the roses, but watch for the bees.
Celebrate the good moments, but learn from the bad.

You get one shot at this life. Make it your best!
