Care Free

There was no rush, she hadn't a worry in the world. She was vibrating with energy and she was genuinely happy, not a feeling she felt very often. For some reason she had been connected to nature since she could remember. A favored childhood memory is breaking rocks open with a hammer to see what the inside looked like. Learning how to classify which mineral was what. She smiled at the thought and watched a ground squirrel run across the dirt gravel. The tiny creature's behavior seeming so full of life. He was willing to take a chance against a monster. Can you believe his sense of adventure, the thrill that echos through his spirit, was this an everyday reminder to remain care free?

@ladyraven, I enjoyed reading your post. I do believe there was a time mostly as children, when life was care free. We had no concept of bills, marriage or life really. We enjoyed sitting we did not have cell phones at least in my childhood. This was a great reminder to live in the moment.

I agree, it was a simpler time during our childhoods. I remember when my alarm to come home was when the street lights came on. There were no cell phones and it was easier back then. Living in the moment is something that can be difficult to remember to do, but stopping and smelling the flowers can make life a little less complicated. Thank you for your comment!
