The wife and I attended our neighbor's birthday party tonight. As the sun set and we sat on the porch outside, I couldn't help but pull myself from the hubbub around me and stare at the trees. Taking a deep breath I slightly soaked it all in - the sights, the sounds, the feeling of the moment. We are about to enter my favorite time of the year, and I could feel it.
I've no clue why this time of year makes me so nostalgic. Mari and I were sharing that thought just a few hours ago. If my faith and acupuncture have taught me one thing, is that we are spiritual beings. And I can feel the fall coming . . .
Maybe it's the introduction of cooler temperatures, or the scents of fall. It might be the temporary sadness that summer is over, that another "click" on the counter of years has just turned another number. Maybe ti's the anticipation of the joy of another holiday season or two right around the corner.
Whatever "it" is, I love my life right now. The last year, has proven challenging. But those challenges I can happily say are now victories. I lost a job, yet now have a job, doing something I love. I started my own business and failed, yet found my "calling" and after 40 years, know for the first time what I'm meant to do.
And I'm excited for what the future holds.
