New beginnings ...

(originally posted 8/19/2019, edited today)

Perhaps there are few things in life quite as exciting as something new, whether figuratively or literally. I find myself in my 70th year facing many new beginnings, the first is having a manuscript accepted for publication!  Truly this is something I've longer for since childhood. My love for literature, books, poetry was fed by my father, as his father before him did as well.  I'm told I pitched a fit after the first day of first grade, because "they didn't show me how to read". 

A new way of life, a new (old!) partner to live out my life with.  We met 48 years ago, and parted company 46 years ago.  We've come full circle, and are at peace.
