Autumn...

There’s magic in the air as the leaves swirl about…

No longer tied to the tree, they sail high in the sky, free at last to dance upon the wind.


Our thoughts are stirred…

 

A longing for warm summer moments surfaces as melancholy nudges near… a desire to relive treasured memories just one more time...to somehow capture them before they are gone forever.

Winter is coming… the cold, the ice, the darkness… Just weeks ago we sat on park benches, watching grandchildren play, laughing as dogs walked their masters and the sun warmed our days. Rewinding those and other memories we sigh. Where have the months gone? Time has marched to quickly...
It’s the season to give thanks for what we have, even if it is less than we hoped for.  We can appreciate small things often taken for granted.  A roof overhead, with a cozy bed to snuggle in, a place to cook our meals, cupboards with food, friends, family, and especially grandchildren.

No, it’s surly different than fifty years ago.  Our world is a changed place, foreign to most everything we hold near and dear to our hearts. Don’t let go! Believe in your values and stand firm in example to those around you. You can make a difference… if only to just one person.  It's worth the risk, for that influence can cross generations.

Autumn is the time of harvest… but not everyone has a bountiful crop.  What will you share at the table of life?
