this time of year

I try to remember to breathe not to let these moments slip past me. Not overeating at dinner because I know the leftovers will be just as good if not better.

Ten Years

I recently came across a photo I posted on Facebook ten years ago. I took the photo on Photo Booth ten days before getting jaw surgery.
