Was going through my quit jounal and came across this one.
I apologize to whomever wrote it for not being able to properly autheticize it....I think it may have come from Ladybugg.
It brought tears of joy and sorrow and many many memories long forgotten.

Just thought ya'll might wanna escape from the difficulties of life, quitting smoking, etc.
We all try so hard to improve ourselves and I think sometimes we need to take a break and reflect on past good times. When life seemed so easy! So I received this today from a friend and wanted to share it with you all. I hope it brings some smiles and maybe some happy tears. Life's short & I think sometimes we get lost in trying to succeed that we forget what's really important.
Close your eyes...And go back...
Before the Internet or the MAC
Before semi automatics and crack
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...
Way back...
I'm talking about hide-and-go seek. Red light, Green light.
Playing kickball & dodge ball until your porch light came on.
Mother May I?
Red Rover
Hula Hoops
Running through the sprinkler
Happy Meals
Wait...
Watching Saturday Morning cartoons
Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages,
G-Force & He-Man
Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos
Playing Dukes of Hazard
Catching lightning bugs in a jar
Christmas morning...
Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses
Climbing trees
Getting an Ice Cream off the Ice Cream Truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
Jumping down the steps
Jumping on the bed
Pillow fights
Running 'til you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from playing...
Your first crush...
Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7Up" in the class room.
Remember that?
I'm not finished yet...
Kool-aid was the drink of summer
Toting your friends on your handle bars
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids got there.
When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a miracle.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.
