  4. I knew I would face this year sometime or other. Thank you for the prompt that triggered this poem. I cannot even imagine having that much energy anymore--and it is only 13 years ago!!

  7. Cool theme, but I have to try and figure out what I was doing back then. Somehow all the years have sort of blurred into one another. Nothing a little quick research won't solve. I'll have to check the dates, as I do believe I was in Paris then, in which case i'll have something to write for sure. Look forward to seeing what everyone creates here. Thanks Tash
