Today is Sunday and a sunny day. Autumn at her finest. A gentle breeze. Smells of fireplaces burning in the distance. And cider. Mmm. . sweet, flavorful cider in the country.
So many sights and smells, sounds and feelings accompany autumn days in Michigan. The changing of the seasons give reasons for rejoicing that we are alive. To be of service to others. To care for our children and elderly parents. To protect and be companions to our beloved pets. To be who we truly are. Each and every day. In every way. There are reasons for seasons, and authenticity, gratitude and kindness are among the chief ones.
Suzy, my love, I miss you dearly. Sincerely. Today we'd be going for a long walk. Along the river, over a bridge and down by the old mill stream. You'd frolic over hill and dale with me chuggin' on to keep up. You led the way to fun and freedom. Your boundless spirit igniting my hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow. You were the wick in my candle, the flame in my darkness, the light of my life.
You were my autumn, winter, spring and summer. For, in all seasons you were all the reasons I needed to be me, happy and free. And, I thank thee!
