First Love Rekindled

February 12, 2025 By Verna Bowman 11 Comments

I had a new first love every week in junior high.  My fickle-self could fall in and out of love easily until I found my first true love – then I married him.

To the September one who says “I’m overwhelmed” – I hear you.  I am you. This is the month when everything begins.  All. At. Once.  And so, usual life needs to be pushed in between the lines of a Fall schedule that reads can’t rest till I do list that you’re flooded with.
