36 times

Thirty-six times in my life, I've been born again. Each time I claim new knowledge not gained from the previous year.

Sometimes I was lead, sometimes I was the leader.

Yet, I was always resolute to connect my past with my future.

And to make the most of a fortunate opportunity.

There were times of beauty and pleasantries.

And times to relax.

There were always new people to meet.

As well as new things to explore.

I found my place.

And shared a ride or two.

I sat with friends

And posed with family

in very precious moments.

I enjoyed the meals along the way.

Though the commutes were sometimes tedious.

Yet, I always had a blast!

And I always felt loved.
