I originally wrote this blog in late August with the intention of posting it on September 1st. However, health issues changed my energy, concentration, and ability to do my usual activities. I believe I am now truly back.
The month of September symbolizes a time to make changes by improving oneself, finding forgiveness, and doing what is best for the soul. As I reflected on what the month symbolizes, I prayed about the things I needed to change that are obstacles to my growth and well-being.
The colors of autumn are vibrant and up lifting. Red symbolizes passion and desire, orange represents positivity, and yellow means happiness. The season of autumn also represents the impermanence of life. Therefore, it is important and healthy to embrace the present. There will always be changes which challenge us to live life to its fullest every day, every moment.
Thank you for being my fellow traveler in this journey of life. Your support and kind words are uplifting, inspiring, and informative.

Bette, we would have been in your beautiful state last week, but my illness required us to cancel the trip. Hope to go to New England states in the spring. Thank you for your prayers and hugs.

Thank you, Jayne, for your comment and support of me. September and October are my two favorite months. I miss the smells and vibrant colors in Minnesota during autumn, but there is a little different feel and look here in Florida with the trees and lack of humidity in the air.
