It’s a Beautiful Snowy Day
Today, we had the first snow of the year here in Columbia, Maryland. The snow is falling and my friend’s daughters are out in front of my house squealing and building snowmen.

It’s My Party and I’ll Cry If I Want to…
We all grow older every year, that’s just a fact of life. Yet, some how every year, I am happy and proud that my son is turning a year older but ever since my mid 20s I have had a tendency to get depressed about my own birthday.
