The tales of Jenna, Arnold, She-She, Li-Li, and Ki-Ki

I thought it would be fun to share some stories of my childhood with you.

It may seem odd, but this weekend I found myself thinking about my imaginary friends. Arnold, She-She, Li-Li and Ki-Ki were almost constant companions during my younger years. Now, i remember talking to them, and I remember once drawing a picture of Arnold, and telling him to stand still so I could get the picture just right (I still have that picture somewhere) Arnold and She-She were really the main characters in my world, with Li-Li and Ki-Ki always there, but not always doing much.

My mom has some amusing stories of me and my imaginary friends. She told me once she knew I was going to work in a church because she overheard me playing in my bedroom,"Now, do you Arnold, take She-She to be your awfully wedded wife?" (I have to think we must have just gone to a wedding!)

Or the day she was outside, hanging up clothes on the line, and I was walking around the yard with a child-sized folding chair in front of me. And all of a sudden, I tripped and fell (its good to know I was a klutz even then!) I let out a scream to beat all screams (my poor mother thought her eldest child had broken something) but I jumped up, flung open the lawn chair, and yelled with all my drama queen-ness..."Run She-She Run, I will save you!!!" and then my mother was sure that she had a child from another planet.

The thing is, I have no idea what ever happened to my imaginary friends. I know most children go through some kind of moment that they let their imaginary friends go, but I don't know what happened to them. I think as I matured, and once my little sister was better to play with, and I became immersed in the world of books, that my friends faded into the background, and eventually, disappeared. It kind of makes me sad to think about it, there was no ceremony, no pomp and circumstance, just gone.

I wonder how many other times in our lives things just disappear without us noticing them? Those people, memories, belongings that somehow make it to the fringes of our lives, without us noticing, and then slowly, they disappear, and we find at some point in our lives we want that feeling, person, thing, or simplicity back.

Now I could draw amazing faith-life paraells here, but I am not going to do that. I will let you do that on your own. Hope you enjoyed this little simdgeon of my childhood, and maybe, discovered something about yourself along the way.

Peace!

Is it the busyness of our lives? Do we get to a point where we feel it isn't important anymore and then later on in life we wish we had it back. I can't tell you how many times I have thrown out something during a cleaning spree and then discovered a use for it later. How many times in our lives have we lost something and never missed it until we realized it was gone. (I am thinking of your turtle that you have never forgiven me for. If you hadn't seen it burning, would you have missed it?) How many times have people in our lives died before we really ever got a chance to tell them what they mean to us or what they taught us or how they inspired us? On the flip side, how many times do we hang on to things, people, or habits that are no longer working for us or are draining us of energy, finances, whatever and we just can't bring ourselves to get rid of it or him/her? Why is that? Is it change that scares us? Do we even realize that it is not good for us? I visited with a friend tonight who is in a relationship that is poisoning her and crushing her self esteem, but she is unable to break it. It doesn't help that her family is not supportive and in fact contribute to the poison. But how do you get rid of family? Just some thoughts. 12 Dic.
