LIVING IN THE SEASONS

 

LIVING IN THE SEASONS - Autumn has become my favorite season of the year. And October--just ended--has become my favorite month of the year.  There is just something about the feel of the Autumn air that is different and soothing.  And then there are the colors of Autumn--the orange of pumpkins and the scarlet and yellow of turning leaves--that are tonic for the eyes and other senses as well.  And now we have entered the month of Thanksgiving and gratitude, accented by corn shocks, pumpkin pies, family gatherings, and so much more.  However, even though Autumn is my favorite season, the older I get the more I tend to agree with Thoreau in seeking to live in and appreciate each and every season and the peculiar blessings each one brings.
