I would close my eyes and be at peace without a care in the world. There was no stress in my life, no responsibilities on a Saturday morning, no school, homework, nothing but time. I would blink my eyes open to stare at the clouds above my head meandering carelessly across the sky.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9456\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/098.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9456\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9456\" title=\"098\" src=\"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/098-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/098-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/098.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9456\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The beauty of the clouds<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I would look for the shapes and suddenly see a person, a heart\u2026one time I saw Puff the magic dragon.
