Day 5 A Childhood Fantasy

Today I spent a couple of hours reading one of my most favorite books from many many years ago. It is 'The Secret Island' by Enid Blyton. I guess some of us never really grow up or is it what they call 'young at heart'? Either ways I can't help but marvel at how enthraling I still found this story. It's almost like going back to my childhood and reliving a fantasy from the good old days. It proved to be an excellent tension-reducing and mood boosting measure. 

It seemed to me, as I kept remembering the excitement I felt as a child when reading this book has not faded with the years. Or perhaps, it's not the book or the  story but the feeling of being young and so carefree again. Perhaps it's not that we never grow up but those trouble free, beautiful days are infinitely precious and worth saving and re-living every now and again...
