THE CITY BOX....

Growing up as a kid we had what I called a city mailbox that made it's home on the corner of our street for years during  the 1960's and 1970's. That mailbox no longer stands proudly on that corner like all things simple, mailboxes have vanished into the unknown,a thing in the past it marked the era of a simpler time.  It held the world's most important and earliest form of communication...the letter.Without the invention of the mailboxes our civilization would have been different.Growing up as a kid I found this box that sat on the corner fascinating and some what of a mystery.I would sit on the front porch and watch people of all ages drop their mail in this box wondering what news the letter was bringing to the recipient,good news, dreaded news and where was it's destination and how long would it take to make the trip.Often times I would feel the need to pull back the door/slot to the mail box and yell inside "lol" never getting a reply.."HELLO IS ANYONE IN THERE." I am not sure what I would have done if I had gotten a answer..And for some reason I felt the  need to give it a good shake knowing I could never shake it off it's concert foundation.And it goes without saying every once in a while I would have the need to drop little things in there just because I was a kid.. I became so excited and loved when my mom would give the  mail to me that actually was to be mailed some 30 steps from our front door.She entrusted me with this very important task.And I took it very seriously.I remember dropping it in shutting the little door and waiting a few seconds and opening it back up just looking down as far as I could  to  make sure it had dropped in, way down in the belly of that box."Nothing echoes like an empty mail box..." Charles M. Schultz.. Who would think that such a simple thing as a mail box would be part of your childhood memory.Sometimes it's just one of those things you feel the need to look back on and smile at all of those childish,silly moments that just so happen to define who you are and the memory of a more simple life that for one second you would give anything to relive...TRUE LOVE IS HOME GROWN1!

Just wondering who received this letter?? 

Yep!!! One of those Days..........

How did I know today was going to be one of those days?Emotions running high...My heart feels heavy,today's been a grumpy day it's been short tempered, grumbly, and easily frustrated.The sort of day that makes you wish for a 'restart' button...You know the ones? Where you are kind of just in a funk. And you just don’t feel right in your own skin.Looking at me wrong will make me cry. Hugging me to make it better will make me cry.
I know I will feel better tomorrow, at least I hope I do.I think I am just having one of those days where the uncertainty you feel about things takes over and doesn’t let the good stuff shine on through.Yep,that is how I feel today.Thank-You God for good friends and family who put up with me..Some days should come with a warning label.....So, I think I am going to put on a Happy face shake these feelings off and start over as though it were a brand new day...
