My bed awaits and I am tired.Body hasn’t adjusted to time change. Blessed bed -sheer bliss!

Packing treat boxes to mail for a couple of dozen people at Church. Cookies and candy and a message that you’re remembered. (How did we think of so many?)

Allowing myself to remain calm when I AM right. Grateful to be in control. Thankful to let it go.

Grateful to look at all the wedding pictures. Grateful I’m figuring out how to share them.

70 one day 50 the next. Impossible to believe that I was perspiring on our uphill hike on Wednesday. Grateful two determined ladies made it safely to the car.

Incentive to go out is a check waiting at Hourglass consignment. Glad my stuff sold.

Challenge is to not spend my earnings. I asked for a check instead of store credit. I promise unless something blows me away!

Pondering why a breeze off the ocean is refreshing and a night time breezes so soothing. Today’s breeze seems bossy!

Embrace the breeze no matter how bracing!

A  walk gives me a chance to notice that the fields are changing. But there is still so much beauty.Blue skies. Warm sun. Purple and yellow flowers.

Even in the bare bones of a tree wind stripped  of its leaves. Spotting an occasional colored leaf. Two turtles on a log.

The grasshoppers danced and doisee dooed whenever we stepped onto their field. I found it delightful every time.

A companion gives me a chance to unload a heavy burden. Something shared is lighter when carried by two.

Listening to a poetry blog helps me sort my feelings. Soon I will write.

National Taco Day, On Taco Tuesday. Ole!

The best thing about September was Vivi. Veronica was born on September 20th. Babies put us into a tailspin but they are calm knowing people are near.

Bless the parents as they learn the way. Keep all safe. Grant wisdom and eventual healing and rest.

Started to write about Hurricane Ian but observation is South will rise again. Grateful it was not more deadly. Thankful those I know are safe.

Lost a Queen and saw a nation who mourned her with dignity. Grateful to her for a life of service.

My October looks to be exciting and busy. A friend suggested I pace myself. Savor the flavor of each day.
