Autumn is a reminder

that each of us in beautiful

in our uniqueness

A garden that never died eventually would weary. Robbed of springtime, unacquainted with the extraordinary perfume that rises from the soil after it’s had its rest, the garden that winter doesn’t visit is a dull place. The return every spring of earth’s first freshness would never be kept if not for the frosts and rot and ripe deaths of fall.

So when I go out from the garden for the last time in autumn, I leave the gate open behind me.

Michael Pollan

Do we need to be doing something important all the time? Do we always need to be accomplishing something? I think not. I think we're like the fields and the gardens--we need our rest if we're to continue to work at our best. Just like flowers, we can share our beauty more strongly if we've rested ourselves for a while, and then other people benefit from our taking care of ourselves.

GOOD MORNING!

All is very quiet here this morning. That means the storm has passed by here. I’ll see today what all that wind did in our area. We got some more rain too overnight.

Today will be a busy day at work for me. That is always a good thing. It’s a brand new week and a brand new day. It will be a great one I’m sure.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Consider the warm golden glow of sunlight as it falls upon autumn leaves. Let the thought of such unassuming beauty bring peace into your heart

Your life is more than making judgments and accumulating trophies. Let yourself remember how truly magnificent it is to simply be alive and aware Let your heart be filled with the richness that is your life. For the more you touch it, the greater that richness will grow.

Ralph Marston
