Today, Kenny Loggins' song "Return to Pooh Corner" popped up in shuffle on my iTunes, and I have to admit, it always brings a tear to my eye. While it does have amazing graphics on the album cover that can give even the hardest heart a warm, fuzzy feeling, it was the words to the song that really got to me. I think I used to listen to them all the time as a little girl, and now that I'm in college, I almost got to the conclusion that I was all grown up. Luckily, Kenny saved me. How hopeless would life be if there came a point where we knew everything and had nothing left to experience and grow from? I don't think anyone is "all grown up" no matter how old they are. So, since Peter Pan once said, "Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting," I say, "Thank you, Kenny. See you around." Stay young, world. --Shae

Ever since you've posted this, I have been singing "count all the bees in the hive...chase all the clouds from the sky" in my head. But I'm glad, because it reminds me who I really am.
