I look at this photo of our granddaughter and the phrase, “halcyon days of youth” comes to mind. I don’t think people use the word “halcyon” anymore, do they? I plan to make up for that to the extent that by the time you finish this post, you’ll not only know what it means, but you’ll be sick of reading it. You’re welcome.
Halcyon: denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful.
It’s easy to romanticize the days gone by and think of them as halcyon. I don’t suppose the day I took this photo, little Miss Lucy was having such an idyllically, happy and peaceful day. In fact, she’d had a croupy cough for about a week when I took that photo and any halcyon moments were interrupted by a hacking, dry cough that made her face red. Then she’d just go on with what she was doing without much fuss. She probably won’t remember that day on the hillside running up to the top and rolling down in the sweet grass. She won’t, but I will. And no matter what else that day meant, it was day free of cares and worries, as all days are when you’re that young. And if that’s not halcyon, what is? Ah, youth.
I’m going to say it just one more and then delete this in the morning: halcyon.

That’s a good word about a wonderful moment!
I could use that word to title a folder; perhaps a folder in my computer- Halcyon moments to treasure! Those are such precious photos of Little Miss Lucy, precious halcyon moments that are too precious to delete!
