Fall Days and long winter nights...

Beautiful Fall days have arrived here in the Mountain West.   The leaves are a riot of color dotted along the mountain sides and now in my own backyard.  Fall is always a very introspective time of year for me.  A chance to ponder and re-evaluate my life.  It seems that in the thick of it all...I have a tendency to get lost.  Swallowed up in life.  There is so much it feels like I can't keep up.  I look around and see us all running this crazy marathon!  Everyone is busy.  Too busy.  What happened to stopping by and sitting on the porch?  Maybe that is just a southern thing...  I miss that time in my life, that I could just swing by and visit with a friend or neighbor.  Perhaps that time will come again.  But for now, my life is kids turning into teenagers.  Myself getting older and slower.  Sam working and working.  And watching another season come and go--from the proverbial front porch of my life.  It is passing me by and I can't help but wonder if I am missing it.

Only a moment.

Only have a moment to say, we are still here.  Yup.  Alive and kicking at the least.  Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Sabbath day.  There is much I long to write.  Perhaps soon I will be able to sit down and write to my heart's content.  Today just isn't that day!  We love all of you!
