.
My three step plan on how I will live the rest of my life: LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH
.
life is a carousel
.
No use crying over spilled milk
Don’t worry over your reservations
In heaven or hell
Our time is too brief
Life is a carousel
Forget the lovers you lost
Or the pounds
That you suddenly found
It’s one ticket per customer
To ride this glorious merry go round
.
My next post will be in two weeks on Friday (yes Friday) September 21st; my three year blogging anniversary.
On Monday I begin my next adventure.
Eight days of writing, beaching, and Cancun-ing,
My dear friends you will be missed.
My laptop will quietly weep for you.
Be well
Be happy
Be loved
