Celebration Remembered

At 5 years old I was running across a small field scoring goals and pushing girls around. Soccer was my new favorite thing and I played every year from then on until i graduated high school. So, as you can assume, i spent a lot of time at the soccer fields. I can recall almost every season at those fields, but there was one specific day I remember the most. A day that my family and I went, not for soccer, but to fly kites, pass the ball around, and throw a Frisbee. The sun was out and there was not a single cloud around. We left our shoes at the fence and ran through the thick, soft grass that would leave imprints of where we stepped before like memory foam. Hours went by with no worries, no negative thoughts or energy. I celebrate that time and those fields because it was the last place that I could be a care free, responsibility free, happy, child.
