It was the perfect day for the race—cool temperatures with a cloudless blue sky.

It’s a question often heard when looking at a newborn. The question most often refers to physical resemblance, as in “Who does she look like?” There are usually differing opinions as to whether the child looks more like the mother or father.

I was wandering around the house, hoping to find where it was coming from, when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move. I watched and waited, for what, I wasn’t sure.

The lack of sunshine and the winter wind was fitting for the mood I found myself in. Feelings of loneliness and isolation had been creeping in for quite a while.

I have a record of failure at past resolutions causing me to hesitate to make any this year. Resolutions usually fall by the wayside after only a few weeks.

Reading it had become routine. It wasn’t something I necessarily looked forward to anymore, instead, it was something I did because I was supposed to. It’s no longer like that for me, thanks to […]
