Playing with drawing and the glockenspiel reminded me of the saying,
It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.
For years after we retired when people asked me what I was doing I would answer,
Enjoying my second childhood even more than my first one.
I haven’t said that in a while but it’s still true. My childhood was a mixed bag. I’m not sorry I had it, but I wouldn’t want to go back. What about you?
PS Yesterday Ginny asked what’s the difference between glockenspiels and xylophones. Apparently xylophones have wooden bars while glockenspiels like mine have metal bars. Hurray for blogging and the internet to keep us learning and sharing!

I like the age I’m in!!!
Yes!
Bravo to you and your second childhood. Parts of my first one were great fun and other parts were agonizing. I would not want to repeat it.
Yes. 🙂
No no no! My childhood was not fun.
Sometimes I feel like I could write a book about it but…
I don’t even like thinking about it. So no.
Maybe this is my second childhood now.
I no longer care about a lot of things I used to care about.
And I no longer permit unpleasant people in my world.
If only I didn’t have this chronic cancer, I’d be enjoying this time more
And I’m trying to anyway!
xo
I hope you can find some joy in spite of the cancer. That’s hard.
I would not want to go back to my childhood days. That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy some childlike activities now.
That’s the point, we get to choose!
I find I am pretty much doing what I did in my 1st childhood, color books, reading books, cut and paste. I prefer the 2nd childhood becuse there was a lot of misery in my first childhood. actually I loved the middle best of all. 40 to 50. since we can’t choose I am happy with my 2nd childhood
Enjoy it as much as you can. 🙂
No way! At least being lonely taught me to become my own best friend.
That’s a great blessing. 🙂
