I Survived

And so did you

Fall is here. In my autumn musings, I have noticed a subtle change in my being. Autumn used to be a time of stress for me as I braced for the holiday madness and prayed to survive another northern winter.

This is the first fall I am retired. And perhaps that makes all the difference. Somewhere along the way, I realized that I had survived All. The. Things. that I never thought I would/could.
