We’re nestled here between the hills
protected from the harsh winds
warm and basking by the lake.
But you are bored,
you’re ready to escape,
to see what lies beyond the valley
and so we wave farewell
knowing after adventure,
home calls the blood.

The other day on Facebook, one of my former students posted this status. It had me laughing so hard I asked her if I could share it with you:
The day you realize you’re no longer an adolescent: When you genuinely feel excited that you finally found a dishwasher detergent tablet that works well on stuck-on food… Doomed
Julia Goodridge
How about you? When was the thing that told you that you finally weren’t an adolescent any more?
