Changes

It is autumn once again. Here in New England the trees bloom into their finest colors. The air becomes cooler and crisp. Fall festivals and celebrations are everywhere. What a fantastic season it is!!

I have been invited to be the Author in Residence for the elementary schools in my home town at the end of October. I feel so honored to have been offered this opportunity! This will be a new experience for me and I cannot wait to see where this new road will lead me. It is amazing how one thing can lead to a great swirl of change in the most unexpected ways. Writing a simple thank you rhyme for a pair of hand knit socks led to my rhymes and stories ,written long ago, finally getting published . I have reconnected with my hometown and I have met many wonderful and interesting people. I am now busy in ways I could not have imagined. My quiet country life is not quite as quiet as it was. Changes.

There is one thing in our lives that we can count on and that is change.

I think back on all the years and all the experiences I have had. Sometimes it is amazing to me that all those times have been in just my one lifetime, and I have more yet to come. So many phases..so many emotions..so many ways of thinking….so many changes.

Enjoy all that autumn has to offer and winter too when it arrives. Try to remember to take a look at what is around you every day. Look up at the sky. See the sun, clouds, stars and moon. Enjoy the changes. Your changes.
