Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the colors and the clean air, the clear blue sky and putting on a sweater again. I love the way fall inspires gratitude in my heart. It must have something to do w/ canning or garden harvesting, or maybe just the beauty of the world around me.
These a few of my favorite fall images - favorites because they recall a beautiful day spent with those I love.

Today I continue my 29 Day Giving cycle and I feel more grateful each day for the insights this practice is bringing. Some meaningful gifts in the past few days - a gift of friendship and reconnection with several women I admire, a workshop that helped me understand my own reactions better and interact with more empathy with all those in my life, some lovely simmering potpourri on the stove making the whole house smell like cinnamon and oranges and cloves, the chance to eat lunch with my daughters today. When I start thinking deeply about the gifts in my life, it all begins to feel like a gift.
