Fall is Here




You can feel it in the air you can see it in the trees. Fall is here. I love this time of year!!!! I am not exactly sure what I love so much about it, I just know that I love it.

As I mentioned before and as you can probably tell from my writing, it has been a long year for me in a lot of ways. I will not bore you with the details nor ply you with the complexities of life as I see them. Today, I just want to enjoy the fact that Fall is here and it reminds me that there are a lot of Seasons in our lives.

Every year we see Winter give way to Spring which is overpowered by Summer which yields to Fall which in turn surrenders to Winter which gives way to Spring which.... It is like a merry-go-round. You love it one minute and then you can't wait to get off the next because it has made it hard to clearly see anything.

I remember as a child that I would get the merry-go-round going as fast as I could and then I would jump on and lie in the center and just watch the sky for what seemed like an eternity until it would finally come to a stop all by itself. I loved that feeling. The world was moving so fast and then slowly it would all come to a stop. Nothing dramatic, nothing spectacular, it would just finally stop.

I will always be a child at heart. My wife tells me that I am like an eight year old little boy even today. I am not sure if that is good or bad, but who cares most eight year old boys that I know are having fun.

Today's blog is quite simple. It is Fall I am an eight year old boy at heart. It has been a long year and I just want to enjoy the day. I hope that you have a great day as well.
