You Found Me

So, after not speaking to you for over a year, we are somehow inexplicably linked out there in the ether.  I have no idea how that happened and to be honest, when I found out- I was utterly stunned into immobility.  I wanted to press that disconnect button that would sever our virtual tie, but curiosity got the better of me.  So it remains there like the gossamer tendrils of the spider web that connected us so long ago.

 

I'm wondering who will have the courage to pull the lever.....

Cycle of Life




Life is a never ending cycle: birth and death transform our world continuously. I say good bye today to my mom's only remaining sibling (of 8), Gertie Fontenot Jolivette Wilson and welcome the newest member, 36 hour old Peyton Elizabeth. We are given a short time on earth, our maxim should be to make a difference....
