Speed Limit of Life …
Day 107 Today I turned another highway speed limit. Of course, 20 years ago this age sounded ancient. 20 years from now it’ll sound young. Once again, perspective. I spent the day with some of the people I love most … Continue reading
Singin’ in the Rain …
Day 106 It’s raining. Big deal, right? Right. It IS a big deal. I love rain. I love the feel of it, the smell of it, what it does. Everything is washed clean when it rains. I don’t mean literally, … Continue reading
