Walking in the woods

 

Monday Musings ... hurt people

 

Friendship Friday

 

Christie, my friend, is a poet. Ordinary life gives her inspiration. Her poems  give voice to the issues that matter in  our  community. She is also a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. 

Years ago, we were work colleagues. For a few magical years, we were a part of a  women's organization. We cared deeply about  issues  that impact women. She was   instrumental in helping  establish the first women's shelter for victims of domestic violence in our community. . 

While we no longer live in the same community, we stay connected.  True friendships are maintained and fostered regardless of our geography. 

Monday Musings ... birthdays

 It has been become popular to celebrate birthday months. I like the idea of making each moment count. I wonder if we have a little excess if we want to make it all about us. 

Then, I'm reminded that as a person of a certain age, life has no guarantees. So savor each moment. 

November, I love you

 November

Orange pumpkins full and round ... 

Cornstalks gathered on the ground ...

Blue skies clear and autumn-bright ...

Harvest moons and frost at night ...

Leaves rakes high in great big piles ... 

November sights bring thankful smiles.
