Ordinary Days....

Ordinary Days....

Life has been really busy lately and I had almost forgotten how wonderful it is to have an ordinary day.    A day without appointments.   A day when I can go for a leisurely walk....or read a book....or try a new recipe...or write a letter...or even clean the house and nothing has to get pushed aside to make room.

Fall is in the air and it feels wonderful.   Cooler mornings and nights.  Blue skies with lots of puffy white clouds and lots of sunshine.     Living in Florida we don't see much of a seasonal change so we have learned to embrace even the simplest changes.    

I always get a little nostalgic at this time of year.   It's such a wonderful family time and brings a smile to my face remembering holidays of the past and celebrations yet to come.   I'm reminded of friends who are currently facing challenging times; as well as friends and family who have overcome challenges to arrive at this present moment.    I am thankful for my friends, and my family, and the wonderful faith that my mother instilled in me as I was growing up (even when I didn't want to listen).

Happy Fall.    I hope you can soon enjoy an ordinary day....they are good for the soul.   I think I might try to package together an ordinary WEEK!!!
