Day 348

Day 348: "I hope I die before I grow old!" How long has it been since you played on a swing set? It's been just over 24 hours for me now. Yesterday, as I referenced in my post, I spent the nicest morning with a wonderful Friend. Yesterday Soupy and I toured all around downtown South Porcupine, my old hometown. Born and raised in SoPo, I moved away at 19 to go to university. Though it's been many years since I've lived there the little town is very dear to my heart. Much has changed since the days I rode my bike to Guardian Drugs to go Christmas shopping or to Luxtons to get a treat, but much has remained the same. Pro Hardware has a new name but smells exactly the same. The school yard at Golden Avenue Public School has different equipment than it did when I went there, but it still has swings. They proved too tempting for me to resist...and though it's been years and years it came back pretty quick. And oh, the feeling...I'd forgotten. It feels like you are FLYING. I wish I could've gotten the photo while I was swinging...looking down at my toes as they pointed towards the sky was amazing. But a photo could never capture the rush of whooshing backwards and the thrill of swinging forwards again. Oh, did it ever make me Happy. What a beautiful morning. #365happydays
