I also miss this feeling that's hard to describe. Though there are several words that come close, nothing quite catches it. It's this feeling like something mystical, wondrous, and magical is waiting off on the horizon.

The feeling of safety, security, and joy.

I miss that sense of everything being so big and plentiful just because I was smaller then. When snow did come up to your shoulders and grass grew taller than you.

I also miss the belief that good always won over evil and if you were a good person, good things would come back to you.

Both you and the great (truly amazing visionaries imo) Pink Floyd know the feeling

Playing on the playground.

Going for a bike ride with no particular plan in mind.

Having friends who liked you, just because.

Riding downhill on a sled, going super-fast, and knowing you're going to get right up and do it all over again---then, hot chocolate afterwards and thawing out your frozen toes and fingers

Laughing til your stomach hurts

Running through the sprinkler & enjoying watermelon in the shade afterwards---and then running through the sprinkler again to get all the "sticky" off.

Each and every new realization that the world is full of magic

When my Dad brought me home a kitten (it was a total surprise, cuz he really knew how badly I wanted a kitty; I was about 8), and let everyone know it was MY cat---that was amazing.
