Sand Castles ...Dream Playhouses

I never really got to play sand castles that much, we live very far from the beach and we rarely have such time to go. Hence i am not very good at making sand castles. hehe But as a child we, my brother and i would always play with our toys, i would have my mom buy me huge doll houses with cars, and my barbie will have many different dresses and shoes! My brother would build his dream houses in Lego too! haha and sometimes we would share insights and inputs to create something with our play-dohs! :D Its really wonderful back then, as if all you have in mind is just possible... perhaps it is possible and to this day, it should be limitless. Whatever the mind conceives it can achieve, right? :D That is what was taught to us in our philosophy class and i have always bear that in my mind.

Some interesting thoughts here. We should allow our talents to develop and flourish both when we are children, and then as adults as it will help develop and encourage us to still want to achieve what is really our dream. Too often anymore we get caught up in the normal things in life and forget to think outside the Box, and go for that we once wanted. When we go for the gusto willing to step out that is when greater things can happen.

I remember building sand castles as a child on the shore in New Jersey. I will say that the best sand castle we, my brother and cousin and I, ever built was smunched by a boat that nearly got the 3 of us as well! We tried many times over the years after that to build one as good, but never managed it. Now, I've seen people that can build outstanding sand structures and sculptures, they just amaze me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_art_and_play

A child's imagination is boundless. I remember as a young girl all the make believe and pretend things we used to do. Now days I really wonder if that is as explored as much as it was when I was a girl. I didn't have all the technological things to play with back in the 50's.

Those are truly fun , playing and building sand castles even though I was never ever able to build more than a sand mountain thingy . I think we should always try to do our best and try gain if we fail . Happy new year

Although, I was not opened to life by sea when I was young I still made Sand Castel with my friends. Old memories! Childhood is fun... Happy New Year!

Hello Sukumar, Happy New Year to you. I remember I used to play with such sands and made many things using the shells of coconuts. My mother's place is filled with this kind of sand which looks like sugar and it was wonderful to play with the same. We gathered in a place and made houses and used the coconut shell to make different kinds of dishes (assuming we are making food). That was really wonderful if I think about the same now. Years passed and I felt bad to think about my kids, they didn't get such opportunities and they are living and playing within the four walls of flats.

The games of childhood help the personality and imagination expand and grow.
