Nostalgia

There is something about fall that always takes me back!  I'm sure many have already experienced fall this year, but today is our first cool day.  With the coolness in the air, the wind blowing through the trees and the sound of children playing outside I remember those fun days of running around in the neighborhood with my friends.  I loved playing football with the guys in the front yard or playing "house" with my 10 baby dolls and girlfriends.  It also reminds me of wonderful family times out at my grandparents farm in Louisiana.  We spent every Thanksgiving there with my mom's brothers and their families.  My cousins and I had great times together down at the pond, in the barn, taking over the upstairs of the house by building forts, playing cards and how could I ever forget the wonderful night of Snipe hunting???  Not only did we have a blast together, the eating was mmm-mmm good!!!  So many wonderful memories! 
Now, it's my children that are outside playing football, jumping on the trampoline and spending time with all the kids in the neighborhood.  And now it's up to me and Derrick to create wonderful memories for our children just as our parents did for us.
As I recall today the great memories of my childhood and enjoy my moment of nostalgia, I would like to thank everyone involved in making those memories worth remembering! 
I have many friends that were not as fortunate as me to have good memories to think back on, and as much as I would like to change that, I know I can't.  What I can do is encourage them to choose to make wonderful memories with those around them now and hopefully I can be a part of their good memories from here on out!
Thank You God for lavishing Your love on me.  Thank You for the wonderful friends and family that You have given me!  Thank You for the wonderful memories I have of the life you've given me and thank You for  the breath of life You have breathed into me today that allows me to make more!
