September Blog 2019

Season's keep changing. Life keeps changing.
All we must do is keep putting one foot in front of the other!
Keep moving. Keep learning! Keep forgiving others, ourselves.
As long as we keep on going, keep on living and giving,
then time will be on our side!



The human condition often falls short, 
or appears to.
One step, one day at a time, as who we are, we go forward.
We go failing ahead! 

Seasons Of Life, Rent

Human Condition, Unspoken 

Turn, Turn, Turn, The Byrds
