Brat

I’ll admit, I could be a brat to my sister…especially when I’d “accidentally” cross that imaginary line dividing the back seat of the family station wagon. 😅

Medieval Times

Everyone has a favorite time in history to read about. Mine was medieval times.

Maybe I romanticized it a little, but knights, castles, swordfights, and jousting? As a kid, I couldn’t get enough. 😎🏰

Walk Home

Sometimes the best part of school was the walk home.

After a long day, walking with a friend gave us time to unwind and leave school behind.

Funny how years later, we’d leave the office much the same way. 😁

Growing Pains

How many times as a kid did I step down hard on one bike pedal, only to have the other one come spinning around and smack me right in the shin?! I did it so many times over the years, I swear those pedals left permanent little dents in both shin bones. Childhood was tough on the knees, elbows...and apparently the shins. 😖🚲

Bus

Being the last one off the bus meant extra time to unwind, watching the neighborhood roll by outside the window. Funny how therapeutic a quiet bus ride could be. 😌🚌

Dodge

Dodge Ball! Most days I was just trying to survive the chaos. If I managed to block a shot with a ball, it wasn't skill... it was pure luck! 🎯😂

Pressure

Sometimes life’s demands can feel a bit overwhelming, and taking a moment to let it all out with a good yell can be a simple way to release some stress. 😫😮‍💨😊
