How can summer be gone?

I am still trying to come to terms with summer being gone. My mind and body is fighting the arrival of winter...but I am convinced with such a cool fall that winter does not care whether I am ready or not. It is coming.

The colors outdoors are just amazing! So...I am trying to soak up the beauty while it last.

Golden Friday

The colors are so pretty right now, lots of gold in the air. There will be more red mixed in, in the next day or two. But outside my patio door, it's golden.

“Every conscious thought you have, every moment you spend on an idea, is a commitment to be stuck with that idea and with aspects of that level of thinking, for the rest of your life. Spending just 10 seconds focusing on a topic that does not serve your interests is to invest your energy along a path that will continue to draw from you and define you.”

colors of autumn

The colors of autumn are bittersweet, my thoughts anyway. Not so thrilled about winter arriving, but, don't think I have much to say about it. The Almanac is predicting a cold and rough winter for most of the nation. So, until that time, when I win the lottery, I am stuck in Missouri.

Until then...these awesome colors will be in charge of lifting my spirits.

One of my beautiful fish. How I will miss going out and watching them, they give me such a zen-like feeling.
