It is impossible for me to wrap my head around the fact that it is October already. Where did 2009 go? I remember that it was just a few days ago that the crew picked up my sad, used Christmas tree from the curb. In just a couple of months I will be heading out on the annual hunt to find another perfect tree to put in my front bay window. Don’t get me wrong I love the tradition, but it’s just here too soon. I had a dream the other day that Christmas came and I had missed the opportunity to put up my Halloween decorations. HORROR!!!!
It seems that we just don’t have the time or make the time to slow down and appreciate the world around us. I’m not saying you have to smell all the roses, just a few.
My father(who would have been 98 on September 30th) always said it that the years went by faster as you got older, it wasn’t until I got older that I understood what he was talking about.
He’s looking down on me right now and smiling, amused that I have finally figured it out.
So here we are again facing another fall. It will come and go as quickly as the summer, so I guess I should stop writing and get outside to smell the mums.
