September...September...in many ways this is the first of the fall season. I read yesterday in Wisconsin Weather Nation that September is the first of the meteorological fall season which is September, October and November. I don't care when it starts, I am just happy it is here or almost here because this is my favorite time of the year: fall colors, warm days & cool nights, apple cider, cinnamon in the air when baking, pumpkins...there are so many things that I could go on forever.
It's commonly accepted that spring is the time of new beginnings. However, is not fall also a time of new beginnings. It is the start of a new school year for teachers, professors, first graders and all the way through college. It is a time of the end of summer and summer vacations and the beginning of the fall season with restaurants bringing out their new fall menus, symphonies starting their seasons, theaters full of new movies. Perhaps each season offers its own new beginnings? Welcome to my blog...I hope you take a moment to stop and enjoy. Maybe you will find a recipe that you just have to try. Maybe you will find a story or quote that will amuse you and make you laugh. Maybe you will find a story or a quote that will inspire you. And throughout it all, please enjoy my pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, is it not? So...this is my gift to you. Please enjoy... |

Begin
Through the power of God, I have the courage to begin.
Monday, September 26, 2022
Throughout the journey of my life, I have begun again and again. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next one. I take some time to celebrate my accomplishments before I undertake something new. But when I feel ready to begin again, I jump in and get started without hesitation.
Even if I feel a little fearful, I remember God is always with me and within me, stirring me, animating me with life, intelligence, and the power to accomplish all that is mine to do.
My divine light, my talents, and my skills are meant to be shared—to serve others and to help make the world a better place. This motivates me as I move confidently in the direction of my dreams. I face each day with courage, ready to begin, trusting I am supported in all that I do.
But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.—2 Chronicles 15:7
