Take in all the sunshine bottle up the rain
Go where the winds blows
Let it show the way
Open up the window
Let in all the light
You can pull the stars down paint the perfect sky
So go and write your song
The world will sing along
Easter has come and gone; spring pokes through like green grass on the ground and students in post-secondary schools will begin their countdown to the end of the year. I have the day off today, a perk of my present job.
I woke up this morning to have breakfast with a friend. We talked about life and work, and how sometimes the two begin to merge until someone decides to untangle the two threads.

Ever meet someone old before their time? Life now looks an endurance test at the end for a variety of reasons. It’s a bad break up or a run of bad luck.
