The beginning

Everyone has so many different memories of the beginning of life. It's funny sometimes to hear what people remember. Heck when you listen some people you would swear that they remember their first day of life.
Now there are others that the memory only kicks in at a certain point and age or is limited to what they determine are fond times or tragic times. Hopefully everyone has more fond memories than tragic ones.

We also all have heard the strories from our parents age, and I'm trying to avoid locking anyone in any specfic age brackett. Where they start off with things were different, times have changed, and I remember when.

Well as we all get a little older we have some similar stories and they may have some similarities and commonnalities.  You know when you get time sometime look thru your old pictures and see you as a baby, a toddler, a young child, teenager, pre-adult and real adult. I bet as you are going thru the process many memories will become re-engaged from within your brain.

All of our memories are there, we just don't necessarily know how to access them from time to time, or we choose not to.

The beginning why this title. You know what I'm doing this without a orchestrated plan and the reality is it all begins somewhere.  Look at the world of 2010 and compare that to the 60's, 50's or 40's. Huge difference.
Now they say history always repeats itself. Well I will say not in all cases.  Fashion may recycle and that is probably a good thing as there are some pretty cool stuff from our younger years. Also the quality was pretty good and some would say, the best part it was made in America.

Now this blog I hope is not to become any politcal discussion and I don't have enough time to debate world politics in a global scale that could be diversified on many levels.

Well you know what, the beginning always began with a baby in need of attention. A family in need of support from friends and the need of the baby for food , fun and development. The development of of the human psyche is interesting if you have taken and heard the views of scholars on social pysch, elementary psych, clinical, and developmental.  Throw in some religious classes, logic and philsophy, economics, history, sociology, and you have a tangled web on how life is supposed to be.

There is a book from Malcom Gladwell "What the Dog Saw" in the book it discusses a group of Italians if my memory is correct from a certain place in Italy that I think maybe settled in NY or Ohio. They ate chees, drank, and smoked and worked in factories and lived a longer life that people who were more healthy in their habits.  I'm not saying that doing the above will make you more sustainable. What they the researchers concluded is that they believed they lived longer because they had a very strong social community and a group of friends.

My point is the community is huge to our existence and well being. Ok now I will not be able to make this blog tweny pages so I need to get back to the beginning within reason.

When you are a newborn in a smalltown the whole town is going to be there with you. They are going to be there when you take that first solid food, when you take the first step and when you in my age bracket move from cloth diapers to the real thing. People that you will know for the next 30 years of your life will remember when your were a baby. They will even remember what you looked like. Also they will be able to tell you stories that you have no idea, nor memory of. They will also more than likely know the story of when and how you were delivered and at what time.

That is amazing to have that history of your life be in the minds of so many others brain databases. Because you know what your are not alone as they remember many others as well if not the whole birth year from everyone in a certain year. Our parents understood what it was to need the support of others and to be there when their friends needed them as well.

You know there was a reason in the 70's and 80's so many family shows had high ratings. Times were different and the social was offline and not online. Don't get me wrong online has found a way for old friends to get back together and reconnect.

I look forward to anyone that can relate and remeber their diaper days. I only know what I looked like. Know that wore diapers and I'm sure I filled them many times. I'm sure I exhausted my parents and fellow family members. Also I hope I caused a few smiles for family and friends as I did something they viewed as entertaining.

I hope the beginning was great for most of us and I view it as a great time. No bills, no worries about food, no worries about going to the bathroom you just did it and accepted it.

Thanks for reading, I'm just doing this on the fly and let's see where it goes.
