Those Were The Days

In 1968 there was a hit song by Mary Hopkin titled, "Those were the days". Lately, I think of that song. I reflect back on my life and see that I never realized how nice things were. None of us did. When my children were young, all I worried about was whether or not they drank their milk and ate their vegetables. My parents were healthy and living a nice life. I was a stay at home mother without any work responsibilities. I would go about my day in peace. At night I would sit on the couch with a child on my lap and watch television. Things were simple but I did not enjoy the moment. Those were the days.
