I have been lazy since the Family Reunion but it is now time to get back into the normal work routine.
We’ve certainly been having typical August weather here in Alabama. High temperatures and high humidity make me wonder if I’ve stepped into a sauna rather than out the front door. Last week, however, we had one of those rare days when the heat and humidity waned. The morning was actually cool, the day pleasant, and the sky a bright clear blue.
A day like that in August when the kids are all going back to school and the summer flowers are fading remind me that Fall is just around the corner.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. There is something exhilarating about it! Everything about fall speaks of change. From the leaves losing their green color to reveal their gorgeous yellows, oranges and reds, to the chilly evenings that say, enjoy this because winter is coming.

I think that is it. Everything about fall reminds me to enjoy the day, seize the moment! It reminds me that life itself is one of seasons, and with every season there is something to be treasured.
Sometimes we fall into the rut of thinking when I get this thing done, or when I have that thing, when my children are a little older, when I am retired, then I will enjoy each day of my life. Fall reminds me that there is something to be enjoyed in every season. Fall also reminds me that this season of my life, whatever it may be, will pass. If I fail to enjoy it, to find the lessons to learn, the people to enjoy, the blessings to share, then I miss out because seasons always change.
Whatever season you are in find the lessons to learn, the colorful leaves and gentle breezes along the path to enjoy, the blessings to share with friends and know that this season will pass and bring another with its unique wonders.
