Irene, I hope that your husband will be impressed with moments from your Happy Childhood. It is nothing like sharing special moments from your youth with the ones that you love. I know that I am going to appreciate everyone stories.
Thank you Gloria, I had lots of fun finding my inner child today. I have actually shared earlier what I did, you can check it out at my profile under the Notes section. 😊
One of my favorite childhood games was climbing the mango trees at my grandmother’s house—an experience I’ll never forget! Of course, there are other games I plan to enjoy with my inner child until Sunday.
I loved walking in the rain on a summer sunny day, it is especially cool when one side of street is raining, and the other side of the street is dry. Just a Beautiful experience.
I have met my inner child before. I carry a picture of her in my billfold so I am reminded to treat her well. Sometimes I'm pretty negative, critical of myself -- in my own self talk. I would never talk to a child that way so the pic reminds me to be kind to myself. I like that little kid. (Character #3 in Dr. Bolte Taylor's book.)
What I would love to do again, I can't. I used to live to go sledding. No snow in Oklahoma, besides that, being in oxygen and needing a wheelchair and walker makes that impossible. My husband starts his vacation Friday so not sure what we are doing.
This is awesome Graham. Absolutely love this idea. I used to carve walking sticks and haven't done it in years. Half the fun was finding a good branch to work with. I've had one on our deck ready be turned into something beautiful and useful. So that's my homework ... I'll get it started and will finish it before the end of the summer. It will take me longer than it used to due to shakey achey hands, but I don't begrudge the time! So excited about this wonderful enhancement to your podcast experiences.
Well ... I did it! I got started on my walking stick project. Started by sharpening my hunting knife and Buck pocket knife, planned what I want to do and whittled for 20 minutes. It's barely a dent but it's a start!
Looking forward to the upcoming chat...will have to talk to my inner child about the roller skating as I wasn't very good at skating as a child....might be hiking in the mountains around Boulder, CO.
I have a couple of things in mind. Go to the local park and play on the swings and eat an ice cream from the ice cream van. Memories of Sunday mornings. I will try and make the chat if I can stay up as have to get up a few hrs later for work as will be Monday morning here in uk. 😊.
I had a very full, busy week and didn’t make it on to Substack. I’m sorry to have missed this fabulous homework assignment and the Live, but I’m still going to do the homework! Thank you, Graham, for introducing ways to integrate the wisdom shared and gained from your podcast. I love this addition.
We had parades!! So much fun! If it was throwable, kickable, catchable, kickable, notable, shootable, etc we were playing it!! Loved sports! Especially basketball!
I have something in mind that I want to do this weekend for the homework but I don’t think my husband will be very impressed …🤣😂🫣

Precious memories. ❤️

Have always wanted to go snowboarding or snow tubing. And also do a lot of traveling. That’s been my inner child all my life. 🙈
Thank you.

That is so Beautiful- and thank you for the reminder. Thank you.
Great idea! Last weekend, I just wrote down a list of what used to bring me joy when I was young: we forget!

Mia, whatever, you and your husband do will be great. Thank you for sharing.

Karen, thank you so much for your post. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I wasn't good at rolling skating, but I sure loved the experiences.
I can't wait to hear your hiking experiences. Thank you.
Plans changed for hiking, will do that this week. I did subscribe” go fly a kite”, which was super fun!
It sounds Excited. Thank you
Fun challenge ahead.

Wow!!! I love the swinging on a swing in a park, that is a happy childhood moment.
Thank you.
Thank you for this. Blessings
Thanks Graham...I thought I was too old for homework..lol!

Thank you for sharing your love for basketball.
Growing up homework was not exactly fun! This however is the most exciting idea for adult homework ever! Awesome, Graham!
I agree too!! Thank you for expressing it.
