Fall Equinox

The Fall Equinox is upon us. Summer has officially come to an end and fall has arrived.

I am feeling a bit gloomy these days. I think the 10 month blues have set in....I was warned....but I didn't think it would happen. Not to me...I am strong right? Hmmmm...guess I was wrong!

I came across this poem in an article on Marilyn Monroe in Vanity Fair magazine. It is signed by T.S. Eliot but was more likely written by Norman Rosten.

Whoever wrote it sums up quite nicely how I am feeling these days:

"The leaves are turning
from red to gold,
when are you coming home?
We're all getting old."
