Pieces of me
Going to my last ever (as we know it) college reunion this past weekend was one of the most defining moments of my adult life. It felt important to go because I knew so many people that were also going, but I also wanted to take the time to savor the moments I had there.…

Daily Prompt 1/14/24
My dream job is something I’ve already done, sort of. Years ago, when I was in ROTC for the Air Force, between my two years of being enlisted and commissioning, I was back living with my parents and working in a sporting goods store in the footwear department. I loved every minute of that job.…
