Perhaps your adventure awaits beyond the shelf,beyond walls,along roads less travelled,With friends unknown,With rivals to be discover,Trials faced,Contests won.An adventure doesn’t have to have dragons in it,An adventure is doing something beyond your norm,To see life from a different point of view,To share in a conversation with a stranger,To pet a dog,To ford a creek,To…

No one remembers the last time it snowed, Nay there is none that recalls, The blank white canvas, Pain and sorrow forgotten in the new unbrokeness, The deepening cold, The storm that past in the night, The warmth of togetherness, Our family came together for a holiday, The candles that were lit, As the power…
