Time of Transition

I haven't written a note in ages.  The last of summer is full of busyness - tending to the end of the summer garden bounty, preparing for the fall garden, trimming and fertilizing, starting a new bible study and mentally preparing for a challenging time in my business.  It's enough to make a girl say "Bah-Humbug"!

When I start feeling like life is overwhelming and wondering why I am on this dizzying merry-go-round, I close my eyes, take a deep breathe, pull down my scrunched-up tense shoulders, open my eyes, and gaze at my world with a refreshed and new (even if temporary) outlook. 

Autumn is a time for breathing deeply and for introspective evaluation of one's life and priorities.  The season simply calls for it like no other.  Transition is all around us. The brilliant gold, orange and red trees presenting their full glory before winter disguises them into lifeless towering appendages. But, we know that soon a new season will arrive and life will triumphantly return again.

For now, I plan to relish in the few precious stolen moments of peace I can grasp and use them to transition my soul to the season of rest ahead.

Be blessed,
