Grey

Today was a fall day, cool with rain, low clouds, a north breeze. It would be easy to classify today as an unhappy, depressing, bad day.

I prefer to not think that way. It’s a fall day, grey, drizzly, a good day to give thanks for being alive.

This actually occurred several weeks ago. Since then, very dry. The season holds many unknowns. That is fine, I have learned to accept what is.

Don’t hurry

Though I was anxious to get home on a late autumn day, this spectacle entranced me, compelled me to stop and give thanks. When we hurry through life looking for beauty, glory, contentment, and happiness, sometimes we hurry right past all of these blessings.
