We didn't appreciate what we had then...
Oh, but each minute is so precious!
May we learn to appreciate them now!!
Thank you for this bit of nostalgia, my friend!

[Rita L. Sev]

Apparently I am in a nostalgia loop... Thanks, Angel!

It was so simple then...nice PJ's. Beautiful Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

They were comfy, too... :) Thanks, Jack

[Frieda P]

You truly realize this when you look back at people that are now gone...life was so much simpler then, struck a chord Rita, lovely sentiment within so few words.

[Rita L. Sev]

Blissfully simple... Thanks, Frieda

That is so true. With the death of my father I spent a lot of time looking through old photographs and you are right life never seemed so simple.

[Rita L. Sev]

And we just didn't know it... Thanks, Blue.

I am picking up a thread of theme that courses through your words. You are acutely aware of each grain of sand that slides to the waist of the hourglass and tumbles through to the bottom ... through to the past.

I fear the time of which you seem so very aware ... or more correctly, I fear its passage.

[Rita L. Sev]

I try not to fear it, but rather appreciate each moment. Some days it's easier to appreciate the moments of the past than of the present...

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Those were the days, right? Well done, Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, they were. Thank you, Travis

[Tate Morgan]

How nice life was back then unintruded by the worries of life

[Rita L. Sev]

When we were blissfully unaware... Thanks, Tate

[Sheila Kline]

Oh how very true!! Life was grand, life was more simple, and friends and families were closer! Today, there is so much for "me". I often reminisce about yesterdays but I suppose every generation does the same.
Thanks for the memories!

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, every generation, and at every stage of life... When we try to embrace the moments, they slip away... Thank you, Sheila

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, I forgot to ask - are you in this photograph?

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep. I'm on the right. My brother is reading to my sister and me. :)

[redflutterby]

Perfection!! I agree with the feelings in this one...yes once upon a time life was so simple. Great picture too!! ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Red... That is a pic of my brother reading to his little sisters... I'm on the right.

[redflutterby]

Awww....love the pig tails and pj's!! ;-) Hard to believe we were once so young and innocent.

Parents always lead the "interesting" times that we and other children had no real clue was going on.

Good Senyru.

[Rita L. Sev]

And now that we are older, we see... Thank you, Chris
