It is Fall, and it has been nearly ten months since I started this blog site. I have visited it only a handful of times since then. Time flies, and I have kept busy with many aspects of life that easily present challenges. Alas, I succumbed to the fatigue for a while, but now I have overcome. I am renewed!

At this time in my life, I am reminded of my childhood, teenage years, and young adult years. It seems like yesterday in some respects but like a lifetime ago in other ways. Reflection is a gift, and it gives one some additional wisdom. How many of us might say, “If I had it to do over…” But wait, regrets? I suppose a few, but why not chalk life up to a learning challenge? That’s what I decided to do. My Dad always told me, “You’ll never stop learning, Carrie.” It is true.
