It is a “#9” Day! | Grandma’s Stories

Jan 9th It is a “#9” Day!

Is this a “Good Day” or what? What did we say when we were kids- #9 riding on Chicago Line!? Today – that still sounds good, but have no idea what children are thinking – when jumping rope and keeping time with a lot of fast-pace – sing-song verses. All quickly forgotten when entering into the teens.

Remembering hearing when as a youngster – “youth is wasted on the young” – the only thing I can think of – that – that means to me today – I just don’t have the strength of “Sampson” to do the things that need to be done today? When I was young and had so much strength – I hate to say it – but did waste it – not doing the more important things in “Life!”

If only we could inspire the younger generations with more understanding of this “Life” – as it will be unfolding, and just exactly what they will need, and at what age – so as to have a “Vision” – a – “Goal” always working toward and fully committed to accomplish. So, that and after the “Half-way Mark” – one can see the “Prize” before them! And, ultimately in their hand!

It is a great day to be born on the “9th!”
