Falling

Someone left this leaf on my desk the other day. It reminded me that fall is here and that winter is close behind. I tried not to focus on the dying of the trees, plants, my skin! Instead I focused on the rebirth that will come in the oh-so-lovely Spring (my favorite). The weathered look of this leaf tells me that it was a long, hot, summer and that I need to embrace the change. As I approach 40 - holy crap frick- I realize that there is a lot to look forward to. The past is where it needs to be...in the dang past. I WILL embrace turning 40. Heck some people age well and dammit I'm going to be one of those people even if I don't have a plastic surgeon. (Who wants to look like the Joker anyway?). Not me. So here's to the turning leaves...mmm Turning Leaf wine sounds good right now.
