This seems to be an emotional time in my life. I thought at this stage of the game, I would have it all figured out and know the path my life would take. But, life throws curve balls, and now is the time to decide when to swing and when to walk. The bulk of my writing is emotional, with some tributes to special people thrown in, along with reflections and observances I make day to day. I just do it all from the heart. Thank you for reading, and I welcome your feedback. "irisanne"
