Well today is officially my birthday. Forty nine is the number of years I've graced this earth with my existence. A lot of water has gone under the bridge, some of it was very muddy, filled with debris. Sometimes it was a life giving, cool and refreshing for the soul. Nowadays I'm thankful and wiser how I respond to the water flowing under the bridge. Life will teach you to consider other things besides the water. What lies beneath the waters surface is one factor, number two consider the height and width of the bridge as well as the depth of the water.

Autumn is in the air today and I don't like it one bit! I really dislike this season! Everything dies. I know this is for a good reason in the natural scheme of things but its depressing to me nonetheless. From the time the fall season begins I'm longing for my beloved springtime; clear blue skies, warmer temperatures, no snows, lots of sunshine and rain, flowers blooming, birds chirping, green grasses. I can just see it now!

Hurry up springtime!
