Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

When I was a little girl,

I loved the smell of the earth,

flowers and trees and fresh mown grass,

starry nights and beautiful sunsets,

and time spent at the beach.

A lot of life has happened between then and now,

and I still love all of those things,

as well as making people smile,

feeling connected to just about everyone (on a good day!),

and I especially love the deep friendship that I have cultivated with myself.

The essence remains-

we are still those children that we once were

with the refinement that a life lived allows.
