Reminiscing. Laughter. Late-night chatter. Friendships. S'mores. Mountains. Cabins. Scrapbooking. Shopping. Brownies. Memories.

Croptoberfest 2006.

What wonderful new memories are created. What old memories are remembered. Friendships deepen. Life changes. People are missed. Another year gone by. Another Croptoberfest passes.

Here on the eve of my 41st birthday I sit pondering the past year. Many things have happened. Many more will happen. I love my friends deeply. I share my life openly. What stories the past holds. What stories the future holds. I wait for things to unfold. Life is funny. Never going where you think, each day is a new twist.

I love. I live. I pray. I believe. I ache. I laugh. I cry. I feel.

Many questions I have go unanswered. Some are really silly. Some are really serious. Some are senseless. Some are just funny. Some are painful.

Life sure is a mystery.

Searching. Neverending searching.
