Autumn is a reminder
that each of us is
beautiful in our uniqueness
The aster has not wasted spring and summer because it has not blossomed. It has been all the time preparing for what is to follow, and in autumn it is the glory of the field, and only the frost lays it low.
So there are many people who must live forty or fifty years, and have the crude sap of their natural dispositions changed and sweetened before the blossoming time can come; but their lives have not been wasted.
Henry Ward Beecher
GOOD MORNING !
I wish that we all could be satisfied with who we are. I'm not the same person I was a few years ago and I will not be the same 10 years from now. I don’t really know if I’ve reached my peak or not, but I know I’ll never stop trying to reach it.
After reading about peak colors in flowers I discovered there are several lessons to be learned from them.
Flowers take their time at achieving their peak of color.
Some have a longer season than others.
Other flowers compliment each other and because of that seem to be all the more colorful.
Prolonged flower life can often be aided by dead heading
It’s TERRIFIC Tuesday once again. This is supposed to be our most productive day of the week. Now that we have Monday out of the way things should go a lot smoother.
I’ll be adding a chapter and a page in my book tomorrow It will bring a new month and lots of new topics to share.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Perhaps you haven't hit your peak yet,
and your time of blooming has not yet arrived.
Be patient, and keep living and learning.
Your time will come, and when it does,
it will be as beautiful as the asters in the autumn,
the asters who have waited patiently
all through spring and summer
while the other flowers
all were showing off their beauty
Fall wishes for
Simple pleasures
Beautiful memories
Love in your heart
Happy reflections
And much to be thankful for always
Ma

Ma, where will you go? Blogspot?
I can't lose the beautiful people who
have become my friends. Keep us
informed. October has always been
my month for big changes, most of
them not good. Help me to be positive.
I need your sunshine! Pat
It is a sad sad day for AOL when I heard that we won't have our journals after the end of October...I can only think that if we have each others E address we can keep in touch that way. Love Sybil xx
