It has been a long time since I was able to post here. The summer was a whirlwind and the Fall is not slowing down. Have you been busy? Have you had to allow some things to fall to the side to get done the things that had to get done in your life, too? 

I'm ready for a slow down. It's Fall, right? This is Pumpkin Spice season. Bon fire season. Candy corn season... Our state is beginning to cool down and the number of hours of daylight is steadily decreasing. Maybe this is the time of year in which we get to breathe and re-center ourselves before the holidays are crashing around us. Oh my. I think I'll go take a vitamin D. Better yet, a walk. 

Today I choose to see God's creation for what it is. I choose to breathe in the air Jesus breathed when he walked on earth. I choose to crunch some fallen leaves under foot and giggle like a child with the joy of it. Today I am thankful I am where I am. Tomorrow will worry about itself. I don't have to. Today I rest in the Father's arms.

I want to encourage you to find something to be thankful for. Take a moment to see the beauty in the day. A smile. A ray of light. A flock of birds. The moon in it's reflective beauty. If you can, hug someone you love. Remember you are not alone. We are in this world together. He is always present.

God bless!
