Running around the backyard imagining being a pro soccer player; playing different actor roles; making a detective flip book with names of hidden suspects; playing sprinkler tag and "horse" basketball with the neighbors; draping a blanket over my parents ping pong table and making a fort underneath; performing skits with my siblings for songs like 'wind beneath my wings'. When I consider the fun and imagination that existed in my childhood, I silently reflect on what it is that makes me happy now.
