It&#8217;s all a circle truly it is and I love that it has not been broken.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As a child, a tomboy, I waited impatiently for the day I would turn 12 and be able to cut that grass. I wanted to make the big money, back then $15, and it was a big yard. But more than anything I wanted the privilege and responsibility to be that age and cut that grass.<\/p>\n<p>I was so proud and so sweaty in the heat of the summertime sun. I remember wearing my bathing suit underneath my clothes. When I finished I jumped in our 4 foot pool and tried to stay under in that cold water as long as my lungs could hold my breath. The pool is gone now and a refreshing ice cream cone is the cold that cools off my Ethan after a job well done.<\/p>\n<p>It all moves forward, time, age, life and if we are alert and aware we can appreciate the circle and \u00a0embrace it; even when it is as simple as cutting the grass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sure you have memories like this one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[776,122],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5506"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
