``Remember when you were a kid,when the world was fresh and new to you? How you would ride your bike to school and enjoy the breeze on your face, as you sped up to go as fast as you can.Remember coming home to the house smelling so good and you just knew your Mom had baked your favorite cookies? Remember going down to the creek with your friends and taking your shoes off and sticking your feet in to feel the fresh coolness of the water...How care free we were back then. How things were so simple and your biggest worry in life was whether you were going to get that cool Red bike for Christmas or not.How eventually you reached the age where you would sit and dream about what you will be when your older,and how wonderful it would be to be able to make up your own rules,not have a bedtime,wont have to eat those yucky green pea`s.It all sounded good at the time.If you`re anything like me you probably wish you were a kid again,and in Amazement how fast the years have gone by.Now as adults our lives are hectic.That list has now changed from a Christmas wish list, To..An every day To DO list such as this.....
