Once again a new year is upon us and has arrived much faster than I anticipated. It’s funny how time seems to go faster as you get older. Does it feel that way for you? Time has a unique way of sneaking up on us. I finally started a re-read of “A Christmas Carol” by…

Lost Anxiety
Hello, Everyone, I wrote this poem as an assignment for school and thought I would share it because I think that everyone has moments where they are so caught up in everyday life that we forget the little things in nature happening outside and what it feels like to be calm.
