It was another scorcher on the 254th day of 2016. Because, on 9/10/16, after watching Alexa's FH game (I have to admit I cheated and watched from the van with AC), we attended the First Anniversary for the daughter of a long time friend and colleague. And, as we sat there, I realized that I met my friend (and colleague) while working my Work Study job, Freshman year. And she was pregnant with her daughter (the one who's anniversary we were celebrating). And in the ensuing years, my friend and her husband, and their daughter, have watched Alexa and Anna many times. And today, I sat, poolside, and watched Alexa and Anna play with little kids. The same way THEY were played with in the pool by teenagers. It made me think how things are progressing, time is flying, and the sittees are becoming the sitters....and we celebrate marriages and babies and promotions and, well, it's overwhelming sometimes, this Circle of Life. So the only song I could think of was Elton John's classing from the Lion King. Happy for my part in this circle, but somedays I wish it would rotate a bit slower.... :-)
