Memory Lane

Sometimes it's good to take a stroll down Memory Lane. I spent 4 hours watching Woodstock: The Directors Cut from 1970 last night. Those were good times with good music even though we were in the middle of a war we shouldn't have stayed in. There were protests in the streets without all the hate like there is today. People wanted peace not war. There was free love with the flower children. When I was a teen life was simple. The only worries I had was what to wear & what movie we were going to go see & who liked who. Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...Fast forward... today life is still good, a lot different but good. MS doesn't stop me from doing what I want to do, I have to sometimes change how I do things, adapt to each situation. Trying to fight it only makes it harder & uses up precious energy. Accept who you are & that you have MS, it doesn't have you. ✌

My old boss used to say that “teenage years we’re your golden years “ no debt, living at home, everything was paid for and no responsibility’s. Maybe curfew. The fun days 😁👍. Memories ☺️ Ken 🐾 🐾

You and I must be close in age! I still have my patched jeans in a box in the attic! I wore them from 6th grade through high school. I would add on to the bottom and split seams to add material when I grew.

That is funny. You weren't the only one that did that though. I just patched my jeans. It would really make my parents mad when I wore them. I had a red heart on the back where the pocket ripped off. My mom told me I was just inviting trouble! I wore them anyway, probably because she didn't want me too. But my friends thought they were "far out" so they had to be cool, right?

It's funny because my favorite jeans wore out around the knee so I made cut-offs out of them. Then they started to wear in other places so I've been patching them with jean material. They take me back to a time when I was young, super skinny (I was anorexic, not heavy now but super skinny then), and healthy. Now they are comfortable and I wear them when I'm working on a project.
