Once upon a time 50 years ago, there was a little boy who was depressed and had no self-esteem whatsoever. He was bullied at school and by his family at home.
One day, July 20, 1969, he was sitting in the living room watching the old black & white TV. Then he finally heard the sound on the TV say, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” And the boy had a tear in his eye when he saw a smiling and jubilant Walter Cronkite on the screen, with the words blinking: ‘MAN ON THE MOON!’ Two hours later the boy was astounded as he watched Neil Armstrong descend the ladder and set foot upon the moon.
That momentous time was so exciting that the little boy forgot all of his troubles and woes. He was so happy and so excited. And that was one time where the whole world was at peace because of this wonderful event.
That little boy 50 years ago was me. On this 50th Anniversary of the first moon landing, it’s a very special day for me because that’s the first time in my tumultuous childhood that I felt so happy and excited. That gave me hope even if I felt different from everybody else.
50 years later, I cherish that memory... the first time that I truly felt elated.

Thankyou for sharing that amazing moment. Im so sorry for all the bullying you had to endure, especially hurtful when from family. I read one of your replies here that you have 9 books in your head! I dont know you but feel I know pieces of you from what you have shared in this group. I can tell you are a very intelligent, creative and caring person. What kind of novels would you write? Maybe you need to give writing some more thought and quit depriving the world of what you have to offer💜. We are patiently waiting🌝
Being that I have ADHD, the challenge of sitting still is a big one for me. I’d love to write the books yet I wish I had someone that would write them as I’m walking back forth telling the story/ies.
I love to read a lot of fiction, especially romance novels. The main plot of my books is someone with low self esteem meets someone that gives them love and encourages growth and so on.
Living with ADHD, I do my best thinking in motion. That is I have to literally be moving (walking, etc.) for my mind to function at its best.
Most people with ADHD usually say, “I have to be moving to think.”
If there is a day I meet someone that loves to sit still and type while I dictate in motion then the books will get written.
That is understandable. Ive been told I have some ADD, so reading is sometimes a challenge, especially if the book is overly detailed and complex stories within stories. I hope the day comes for your new career path.
Nowadays I would think that if you wanted to make a book you can record it Verbally and have someone type it out for you check spelling etc. you could be active at just about anything and record your story. And I’ll listen to it as an audiobook
