Falling . . .

I'm sitting in the back of my house today watching the leaves spiral through the air as they fall from the trees. I can't help but feeling a bit like a leaf these days - once green and vibrant, attached firmly to a stationary limb, spending my days fluttering lightly in the breeze. Now I'm a completely different hue, changed by time and experience, being tossed to and fro by the winds of life, just waiting to hit the ground. Sometimes when I think I'm just about there, another wind sweeps me up and around only to fall back down, this time more swiftly than the last.

I am living proof that people, just like leaves, go through seasons.

Beautiful analogy Samantha...you have a way with words. I think I'm in the permanent season of winter...everything's a little soggy or did I mean to say saggy?! HA! HA! :-)

You've been spam commented, Oh dear can you get rid of it. Looks like they're covering all viagra options and then some.

I'm slowly fading through a very long fall season, when I hit winter the big game of life will be over.

Love you in all your seasons.
