I have been trying to find something to write to you about.
My well of inspiration seems to have run dry and I know
we all have periods of dryness, in the physical world and
also in the spiritual world. I decided to just sit here and let
whatever comes out to be what I was meant to share with
you.
I know I am resisting the fall weather only because it means
that winter is not far behind. I so loved the summer, It was
a true summer was it not? I so love to be warm, wear less
clothing, walk around barefoot in my house and outside too.
I love to go in my kayak with only shorts and a top, to sit on
my deck and enjoy all the birds flittering around and chirping
to me and each other. The sun just warms my spirit and makes
me smile to just think about it. I can open my windows and
doors and let the warm air in and watch my tomatoes ripen.
Did it tell you that I did something that made me laugh at
myself? I decided this summer to have tomatoes, cukes,
and peppers in pots so I could pick my own. Well, my
cherry tomatoes were ripening nicely but they kept falling
into the pot with a little piece of the stem attached. I
assumed (you know what assumes does?) that the birds
I was feeding were landing on the tomato cages and
knocking them off or some other insect was cutting them
away from the cluster. I moved the tomato pot as far away
from the bird feeders as I could and it was still happening.
I finally looked at the plastic label that I had put in the dirt
so I could remember what was in each pot. You’ll never
guess. I was growing Sun Gold tomatoes which were orange
in color when they were ripe. I had been waiting for them to
turn red but they knew when they were ripe and fell to the
ground. It’s funny, but I had no more problems after that
discovery, I wonder why?
We have been having a cold spell, colder than normal for
this time of year so I finally turned on my heat throughout
my house after just turning it on in the bathroom for one day.
Last night I was so cold I turned on my space heater near me.
It is on wheels which I love, so I wheeled it into my office so I
could have some extra warmth here. To help me get over
this hump in the road, I am going to focus on what I like about
the colder weather.
I was able to throw a jacket over my banging around clothes
this morning to go to the dump, I did not have change. It feels
good to snuggle into the flannel sheets I use for the winter. I no
longer have to wash the hummingbird feeders as they have left
for the winter (I miss them and the orioles, though). When you
love someone, it is not a chore to care for them. The trees are
showing their individuality with their different displays of color.
I get to sleep later in the morning as the sun no wakes me up so
early. A good cup of coffee or tea seems to taste so much
better as it warms your insides. Hot cereal is a treat also. I
will be taking down the screens so will have a clearer view of
Mother Nature. Night school is offering an array of subjects
that pique my interest. These are just some of the things I
am using to make the transition easier.
I do have some information that will make you feel good
just to know about it. I know you want to help wherever
you can and in an emergency, we don’t always know
WHAT to do to help. Take a look at this site and
learn how you can help any time you run into a
situation that needs immediate attention.

Although I have been trained in CPR, I always wondered if I
would be able to do mouth to mouth resuscitation with a
stranger. NOW, any of us can help if we are faced with
this dilemma. Who knows if one of your loved ones will
need your assistance some day.
I know this made me feel better just knowing it and right
now I am looking for ways to feel more interested in
the moment I am in. Have a Happy Autumn.
I want to share something that lifts my heart…….and makes me laugh
