Mellow fruitfulness...







Vibrancy...









Color...








Fun...






How can one not feel good/better/perkier, on a beautiful Autumn day?!? Sunshine, bright Fall flowers, pumpkins by the acre, seasonal door wreaths, kids playing in the pumpkin patch, bees buzzing among the flowers, an occasional butterfly floating by...

Don't know if it would work for everyone, but it surely did, for me. And not a moment too soon. ,-) But then, I always love Autumn.

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..."

Since entering the Autumn of my life, and finding more freedom of thought then, I've really loved Autumn even more. I see it as a lovely way to view myself, at this time. Don't tell me that it's an exaggeration! ,-) In my mind, I can exaggerate as much as I want to! ,-) I can view myself as walking through mists. And as encompassing the mellow fruitfulness of having lived long and experienced much. Especially since I've given myself the right to experience even more! Things which were just an interest, a faint dream, a fantasy, to be read about... I've make my own experience. If not now, when? has become my motto.

No, not all my seeking out experiences has been totally win-win. But that's part of living life fully, too. Not everything that "looks neat" from the outside, is "totally neat" from the inside. We get. We give. We gain. We lose.

But at least, in the trying/experiencing, we live!

Yet again, my views. I'm not saying that all should agree. So... Your comments????
