days

 I miss

the days

of pogs

and pogo sticks

hitting a tennis ball

against the fence

and a time

i wasn't tethered

to my smartphone

    Childhoods were so wonderful for the most part before the internet was invented, ...social media, all that stuff. I think my kids generation was the last one that was fun and free and then everything became so different -

    I am not tethered to my smartphone - for which I am grateful.
    It is not even in the same room as I am at the moment.
