I always enjoyed talking with my parents and my grandmothers (my grandfathers both passed away before I was born) about the "good old days." They made it sound so interesting, different and simpler. I often yearned to be able to experience those times of black and white (or faded color) that I saw in pictures and my imagination. Other times, I wished I could have been born in the distant future, when we have resolved our pollution, energy, and other societal problems. Finally, I began to realize that we all are born at the optimal time for our spirit's growth. So I'm happy that you got to experience these simpler times because it must have been important to your life's journey. I'd love to read more about these times if you feel like posting more!

Thank-you so much d-pend. The old days were wonderful for me because people seemed to care more and do for each other. As time passed, people became more materialistic and money hungry. Sometimes I want to move to a place that is simple where I can grow my food, care for animals and breathe fresh air. That is why I connect with people who share the same sentiments. But you are so wise in realizing that we were placed in our times for spiritual growth. I really mean it when I tell you that you exude a powerful spiritual presence which is something special. You may not realize how much of a gift it is because of the pain you have encountered but when you meet the right people (there are not that many out there), you will bring so much positive energy that will be healing, to them. Your have given me a ray of hope that there are those few people that matter out there and you are one of them. Keep moving forward, building up that inner strength that is waiting to be found!....Cabbagepatch
