Fall into another Season
I wrote this last fall and have finally had a chance to publish it. I have been feeling a little nostalgic, lately. Fall always brings back those childhood memories.

Age
Wow! Who would have thought we would be this old? I keep thinking that with age comes wisdom, does it? Growing older has perks but mostly it is harder. Slowing down every year gets more noticeable.
