You make your bed and lie in it. Therefore its important that parents teach their kids a sense of destiny. Get your kids to dream their perfect life and they’ll soon find ways to make it happen

Its not just the choices you make in your youth that are important. Sure they are likely to most affect your life, but life is a choice every single day you live it. You can change what you want in life if you have the will to follow it through.

More or less my life. And I don't consider those mis-spent, either. There were friendships made those times, which are still strong, though many years have passed and our respective lives have taken very different turns. Very nicely expressed. fathersez's last blog post..How attending a funeral can change perspectives

The Bump — it is so long since I heard that particular dance referred to! I must be about the same age as you Janie. I was a wanna be hippy, a bit late for the main trend though. I wore long skirts, afghan coats and had long flowing hair. I was not such a rebel as my sister (13 years older than me) so I did not suffer the wrath of my parents. (apart from after at a party at home where the guests did not quite behave as they expected!). I partied quite hard and this continued all through Uni. I had a wonderful time

I enjoy 70’s music a lot and i was born in 1983. But you have forgot the long hair of the old school days. That was such a highlight for me and many others. When im going over pictures of my parents from the 70’s and i see there long hair, i crack up laughing.

Wow! That is one awesome post. I feel like you have summed up my whole life in one fell swoop. I was totally into sbiccas (which I think are making a comeback by the way), barbie and ken, and disco.
I can totally relate. As far as parents go, well, yeah they just don’t get it. The funny thing is, I keep saying that same thing to my hubby when we talk about our teenagers. “They just don’t get it!” LOL What comes around goes around for sure.

I'm not admitting to any age at this point but I can say I recognize the symbol of disco and can still do a move or two. What fun it all was! Nice post! Tumblewords's last blog post..Tome of Winter
