Week 22. Secrets. Describe something about yourself that won’t be found on any record 100 years from now.
You won't find on any record 100 years from now that I loved to climb trees and I climbed late into my teen years. My mother cringed every time I was in a tree. She was afraid I would fall and break something. I was warned she had no way to get me to a doctor and no money to pay the doctor, warnings I knew to well. As I got older, I was told it was not feminine to be in a tree.
I loved the solitude and found it an escape from siblings who would not follow me up a tree. I love trees, nature, the out doors. I now walk among trees and enjoy their beauty all seasons of the year.
