Wonderfully said! Jake came home this weekend and last week I put it on the family calendar. Oh how the calendar does change...

Pretty excited to see how Les Miserable is, one of my favorite stories of all time never seen the play!

I felt you in these words. Wonderfully done. We have to find you a publisher - I think magazines for now, until you are ready to compile in book form. Be well, my brother.

I love that this piece captures life well-lived, living, and changing. The calendar is the journey map - with all the twists and turns that life gives us. You remain in our thoughts and prayers for healing.

Correct. This isn't just about me, but the reader as well as they evaluate their lives through this lens! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This piece had me reflect on my own journey — so much that I shared it with Vicki — and she felt the same❤️

Editorially, allow me to say — keep it up….once you come to the end of a piece, it’s finished….resist the urge to tinker it closer to perfection….that’s unnecessary as it is already perfect….rather, start a new piece….bring all the pieces together in a collection — you WILL be pleased….and so will we❤️❤️❤️
