Milestones

My Birthday came to pass...

and sent me thinking my life through. 

With each milestone,

 it's nice to think about things in ones life. 

So I thought about what makes me happy!

"I'd give all wealth              

that years have piled,

The slow result of

Life's decay,

To be once more

a little child

for one bright

Summer day!

                       *Lewis Carol*

I love hazy, lazy, quiet afternoons with soft gentle breezes blowing bright curtains through my window pane. While seeing it ruffling leaves on trees through screened doors, reminding me of my childhood.

I love - soft, rainy summer afternoons, of smelling crisp clean rainwater scented air which reminds me of my childhood.

 I love soft and warm early mornings in my bed under covers while reading on faraway adventures in exotic lands that remind me of my youth.

I love lying on freshly cut grass staring up at sunny clear blue skies on afternoons that recall my youth.

I love swaying rides sleepily resting head on broad shoulders and taking deep breaths on necks of lavender soap and sandalwood taking me home.
