It was a very good year for me. I was 17 and making music.

Yes, because I was still full of innocence living in the country and swimming in the Atlantic ocean.🌅I lived on an old dirt road back then, I would walk down that hill and jump in the water and swim all summer long❣🤗 I was surrounded by nature and all it's beauty, it was all I loved and needed. I still miss the fireflies in the evening.🌟Now I'm about to cry!!!😢

@Peaches That's awesome. I grew up near some wooded areas, but they weren't protected. The stream behind my house was polluted, and now is a protected trout stream. So we do make progress. We just have to maintain it and keep improving, so children of all ages have places of beauty to visit and feed their souls.

@AllAboutLaffs: I'm so glad you are here to tell the tale ...so's to speak!

@Fernie: Thanks so much ....
I certainly loved that period.
It seemed then that a better future was possible, although perhaps it was only because I was too young to recognise the unchanging realities of human nature.

@Fernie: Sadly, yes, but possibly we can make lemonade from the lemons as we move forward.
@windinhishair: Haha! 😀 We can indeed if we apply our creativity to the solutions. And sometimes appalling events motivate positive change on a larger scale.

@clothos: You bet it does! This horrible event has woken up many people, so much good may come from it.

Not really. We were embroiled in the Vietnam War. The two following years, the Cuyahoga River burned in Cleveland, so there was very little environmental ethic. Poverty was high, especially in minority communities. Like any time, there were good and bad things about living then.
That was before my time. But I'd trade right now to be 25 in 1967.

No, that was before I was born.

I was integrating my Catholic school, getting bullied and called names. So perhaps I'd pass. 😏
Peaches · F
@bijouxbroussard I'm sorry that happened to you bb.😞I had a girlfriend that went to Catholic school too and the kids there were all so mean she said.
Infoman · 36-40, M
