Amazing

I stand in front of the window soaking up the sunshine and think how wonderful it is!  I opened the windows last night and slept perfectly!  Autumn is almost here, my favorite time of the year and I am ecstatic!

I’m not sure what it is about Fall that I love more, but I know that I live in exactly the right place to enjoy it.  Big old trees to walk under, long shady walks to walk down, beautiful grassy places where squirrels scamper and play and hide acorns – it just doesn’t get much better than this.

I love the ocean with the constant ebb and flow of waves against the beach.  I love the mountains with their majestic height, but I love this heartland too. 

As a young person I always wanted to be somewhere else, to find the majesty and drama in the unfamiliar, but now something draws me in and I find inestimable comfort in where I am.  Never in my whole life have I been as content or happy or full of wonder as I am right now.

Sometimes I feel like a starving woman sitting at life’s table, greedily gobbling up everything in front of me.   It’s hard to say what I love most.  Once the food helped me get from here to there.  Now here and there help me avoid the food!

It’s all pretty amazing!
