Dear june,

I just got up and I am ready to climb into the bed you described.  What a wonderful description of your loving family.

Hugs,
Kitt

Hi newbie here :-)

Nice topic. I have many great memories of childhood...as it was the only time of my life when I was free from severe anxiety. I had anxiety back then, but not as bad as it is now. Just the other day I was looking thru my photo album and found pics of my childhood...playing in the snow with my friends, roller skating, going camping, going trick-or-treating...It brought back some wonderful memories. Looking at these old pics also reminds me that I was able to do a lot of things back then...and that I had a real 'life'. I wasn't scared of the mall, or going to the movies, and an elevator ride was easy. Those old pics give me a reason to believe that I was not and still not a complete failure after all. Sometimes I feel like I have hit rock bottom, and it is those great memories of childhood that keep me going.

My pop singing us to sleep with Irish Lullabyes . . .

Playing with matchbox cars in the clay-cliffs, making little parking lots 'n stuff

Sitting outside under the small awning with my oldest brother watching the lightening during a storm

That's about all I can remember.

I remember being in Girl Scouts... that was always fun for me. The leaders were so nice, too. One of the leaders opted to be my "mother" for the Mother-Daughter campout... since my mom was too sick (with her schizophrenia) at the time to go with me...

I also remember all the field trips I went on with my Grandpa.... I really loved him. He was the best grandpa ever...

Spoiled all of us rotten... But especially me and my youngest brother. Everyone always said how my little brother was like his shadow. It was so cute. He'd even dress up like him... :)

Celey,

I was a girl scout to and I remember summer day camp and the thing we learned about camping out and cooking a meal over a fire.  Of course the somemores were great too.

Thank you for sharing

I remember making a little homemade sterno cooker out of a tuna filled with can of wax-soaked cardboard and then set underneath an upside-down 5-pound coffee can. When I was 6 or 7, I'd go out into the garage and fry bologna for my lunch on it every day. Made me feel so self-sufficient!

It turned out to be a fantastic Thanksgiving
I am so glad I let the walls down and
Did not take the anger and pain with me



Another great memory was Christmas......
dad would always have "Santa" there for us kids
And we really loved it
To this day I still
Believe in Santa ........

I wasnt a kid this time
I was Mom being Santa
Actually climbed up on the roof by the antenna and made reindeer tracks for Cait
Set out carrots and took bites out of them all
Drank the milk and ate cookies
Left Cait a note....from Santa to Cait

Funny thing she always KNEW it was me but never said anything ....

Love does some funny things

Hi There Lyn, and of course everyone else here.
I was going to write in Stkitt "how smart are you" but this one seems to compliment The quote about Riches,
Childhood memories, Perhaps those of us who can remember those times as a good part of our lives should focus on them much more, because these are so much more important than Riches and Gold
"Lyn, I will chat with you soon ok

I've forgotten how to use this thing. You seem to be really happy Lyn.
While i am here i will write one little memory.

I was about 7 years old, and i had to sleep in my parents room as some relations used my room for the night. the hallway light was always left on, and the door open.
I woke up well before sunrise, and looked towards the door, and in through the door every animal i could image flew "yes flew" in and circled the room.
I watched this for quite a long time, then the sun began to rise, allowing some natural light into the room, these animals then flew out the door and down the hallway, though i got up at that point and followed, they were gone. strange thing, i didn't go back to bed,

Dad would have ALL of us kids ( we had 10 at the time ..foster) and we would dress so warmly with scarves and mittens and go
"Singing Christmas Carols"
To the ppl around us and to shut in's and ppl in homes ect

The best times ever and then coming home and singing more whilst drinking hot chocolate or cocoa with Marshmellows on top

Trying to see if Cait will get her friends together to do the same thing
Those ppl actually had tears in their eyes

Wonderful warm Memory for sure

Anymore out there

Hmmmm childhood memories....id have to say that my favorite childhood memories would be when the whole family would get together for the holidays...and sometimes just to have dinner together, but i mean the whole family aunts uncles cousins second cousins grandma and grandpa...i mean everyone lol well i remember specifically this one time we all gathered at my uncles house and i think we were celebrating my cousins birthday....anyways all us cousins were out in the front and one of my cousins decides he knows how to drive i think he was trying to impress the girl that lived next door lol all of us were about 7 to 10 years old....except this cousin i think was about 12 or 13 at the time....anyways he swiped the keys from my aunt and started the car, and then he started going back and fourth in the driveway, until he forgets the car is in reverse and his foot slipped i guess and he hit the accelerator hard and he back up into my uncles truck lol....i miss those days...we'd always find someway to get into trouble...but i really enjoyed the whole family getting together....nowadays im lucky if i see half the family for the holidays....

What a great memory.  Is you cousin still alive..............or did your Aunt and Uncle give him to a traveling circus show.............
kidding. (Giggle)

The Holidays seem to be the memories that really stuck in a lot of our minds. Life was mostly good for that one day. :-)

Sorry Lyn, i haven't looked in for a while, In the middle of my once a year battle with a silly little issue, that i like to get my teeth into. keeps me balanced, "I think"

I will email you after this.

On the subject of Childhood memories, I am having a craving for chocolate cake, and just thought how my brother use to make choc cakes, and leave them out over night to cool while he slept off his night out, and i would get up and eat it before he got up in the morning. think i will be having cake for breakfast tomorrow.

i have so many amazing childhood memories- up until my panic disorder began age 10. my favourite memories probably involve family holidays with family friends, many adventures were had. i look back on my childhood fondly. but at the same time i feel like it was cut short when P/A started @ 10yrs.
