Pondering the blues






I love September. Maybe because it is the month I was born, maybe I just love all the Fall colors. Something about the daylight, still warm but filtered in its intensity, the smells, and the sounds, invigorates me, it even has a taste, one i find myself craving. I think there is also a touch of intensity in wanting to savor these last remaining bits of Summer/Fall because all too soon it will be muted into the quiet calm and cold of winter.





I have been pondering this morning on why when it is my favorite time of the year, I have felt bluesy and disenchanted.





I think it is because I have not taken a small moment to eat lunch outside, or walk through the leaves, or chase my children and hear them laugh.





With that revelation...I think I'll take a walk and leave my head and all of its worries to seek a moment in the afternoon sun!


Ciao!








P.S. A Thank you to Gleeful, the Happiness Project, and Awake at the Wheel for inspiring this blog journey.

Wow! You have made my day! Part of me plan with starting Gleeful was not only to enhance my own level of happiness but to encourage other people to look for and enjoy life's simple pleasures, so I'm super pleased to have helped inspire you.

Beautiful writing, too.
