October is a signal
For trees to turn to fire
And show off crimson colors
Before they must retire
October is a beauty
Dressed in Autumn's spell;
She walks in splendor everywhere
And wears the season well
October is a treasure
She's rich beyond belief;
Her patchwork days of color
Are spectacular, but brief
October is a painting.
A scarlet leaf display
Framed by a sky of sapphire blue
And wrapped in an Autumn day
GOOD MORNING !
Thursday already ! This has been a nice fast week, thanks to my vacation day on Monday ! The weather here has been dark and dreary ever since last Friday ! Almost a whole week without any sun!!! I’ve been trying to make my own sunshine, but the eyes feel like they need toothpicks to hold them open. My coffee in the morning seems to have no effect. Sunshine deprivation gets worse and worse each year for me. Thank the good Lord we have the colorful leaves on the trees, else it’d really look gloomy out.
***BIG SMILE***
Have a blessed day all !
I hope the sun is shinning where you are !

p.s. Look what I found on the internet yesterday evening:
The personal commandments of Helen Steiner Rice emphasized optimism:
1. Thou shalt be happy
2. Thou shalt use thy talents to make others glad.
3. Thou shalt rise above defeat and trouble.
4. Thou shalt look upon each day as a new day.
5. Thou shalt always do thy best and leave the rest to God.
6. Thou shalt not waste thy time and energy in useless worry.
7. Thou shalt look only on the bright side of life.
8. Thou shalt not be afraid of tomorrow.
9. Thou shalt have a kind word and a kind deed for everyone.
10. Thou shalt say each morning -- I am a child of God and nothing can hurt me
I think we must be related –at least in spirit!

The personal commandments are lovely. We have a little bit of sun this morning, but expecting rain.
