Today is a new and glorious day.....I took my friend Katharine's advice and I must say it was wonderful....
I used every Kleenex that was softly folded inside the little box that was dressed in such bright colors.
I quietly slipped outside and found myself a nice seat in the rocking chair that sits on our porch. As I closed my eyes, I was able to forget about all of the unpleasant thoughts that had been invading my mind for days.
I'm really not sure if I drifted off to sleep or if I just allowed myself to daydream for what seemed to be hours.
I remember hearing a bird sing a beautiful melody and I also remember the gentle breeze that seemed to whisper throughout the tree tops. And then, it happened......I was far away.
There is nothing like the peaceful sound of a river as the crystal clear water rushes across the rocks. I would catch glimpses of leaves as they fell so softly into the stream. Each one was brushed with a stunning array of color and they were crowned with a brilliant hue of crimson red.
I could hear a rustle in the leaves on the banks of the river as squirrels chased after one another. They were playing a game of tag and would dare one another to climb to the highest limb that hung out across the water.
There were flowers everywhere that displayed a riot of color. Black eyed Susan, Asters, chrysanthemums and the beautiful orange colored Sarabande rose whose fragrance is almost spellbinding...
What a wonderful place to be.....Radiant joy was all around me and I could feel the crowning glory of Autumn as it encircled me with such a peace of mind.....
It seems that nature is a magnificent doctor for the soul.
Shug Sez......
I say Thank You Katharine for your kindness and Thank You to the Brilliance of Autumn for helping me find a place of rest. I look forward to this fabulous day......
