Yes.. me too.. Barb!

Would you believe I have my first books. I have hundreds of books.. which are still waiting to be unpacked. I Love Books.. whether I read them or not :lol
I remember in grade school... by the way I attended Brush College #1. No kidding.. it was a white frame school house with a bell steeple.. and the bell. Outhouses for rest rooms.. gosh.. I have never realized that til now... but by golly they were outhouses.

Whoops.. talk about topic drift.. haha ha

Well I guess you can figure out that we didn't have the Travel Channel... the first programs I remember were Roy Rodgers, Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Wild Bill Hickock, and Winky Dink.
Too Funny.. Uh? TV was black and white.. and you were darn lucky to even have one. Internet didn't exist. I would guesstimate this to be about 1952-3.

Books sparked my already vivid imagination. Mom told me many Times she would hear me talking to my 'Friends' while sitting in my bedroom closet. It was a cool hide-a-way... cedar lined.. which kept it naturally purified.. and a deep shelf in the back half that served as a step up to the attic. I would camp out with pillows, blankies, and all my stuffed Teddy Bears.. sit in the dark and have great conversations. Now I'm not suggesting this was an 'Imaginary' experience.

Bears are Big Medicine and have great strength and Wisdom. And Yes... I still have my first Teddy... 'Timothy T. Bear' or more affectionately refered to as just Timmy. And there was Andy Pandy and Rusty too. These were my closest compadres. My Passion was the Horse. Still Is.

I Know I'm kinda' Ram~Bulling on here.. but it's more than just childhood memories. Bear and Horse are important Totem Spirits in my Life. Until this moment.. I have not looked at them in that context. They were a normal part of Life. So in this moment of sharing I have expanded my own awareness of Self.

The Child Self is taught early that upon reaching a certain age it will no longer be acceptable to be a Child. It is then Time to grow up. In response to this.. let's invite our Child Self to come out and play. This must certainly be an important part of the Whole Self needed to maintain Balance.

Children forgive and move on Gracefully. The Adult Self could pick up a few Tips with that energy.

SAR.. that's a good idea. I'll put a new thread up ASAP.
