--One of the hardest thing's I ever had to do when I was a child was learn how to sleep with a quilt. Oh they were warm as all get out, and greatly appreciated especially on a frosty night. The fact that the weighed what seemed like 5 tons and made it tad hard to move around was a bit much to over come at times. But if you worked really hard you could do it. Otherwise you just enjoyed the cocoon of warmth and fell fast asleep.
--Little did I know at the time of course that the search for warmth on frosty winter nights would be a life long quest. Perhaps I would have spent more time enjoying the cocoon and not fighting to be free.
--Like all could haves, would haves, and should haves you can't do much about the past. Just try and learn from it.
--Something I have tried to share with my children over the years. Which wasn't the easiest thing to do in a world that seems to have a fondness of trying to rewrite the past to something their more conformable with.
--I will say one thing as time goes on sooner or later even reality filters through rose colored glasses. But hey what do I know I'm just a old pink hat wearing fool wishing he had a quilt cover his old bones with on a frosty night Instead of what passes for a blanket these days.....
