Yesterday
I have some little thought rattling around in my head this morning, something I recently read. I think it was generated by someone at school. It was something I heard a while ago, but a little nostalgic email came my way, an email about a time in history so strongly associated with home and my childhood years, and the email made me think about this.The email that provoked this thought was filled with nostalgia and I will not post the entire passage, but I will post a “couplet” that causes quiet a visual for me,
“Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season. Pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason”.
Anyway, I suppose I should post this little thought that is stirring around in my head, because it is there, speaking to me and I feel I should share it. It was a quote of sorts, but I will paraphrase –
We are so busy giving our kids what we never had, we are neglecting to give them what we had.
This, as a mother and an educator, speaks volumes to me.
and another couplet of inspiration…
“In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone. And no need for recording things. Someone was always home”.
till next time,
p.s.
