It’s the season of Fall and one of my favorite seasons, Autumn.
The leaves are changing, there’s a brisk chill in the air, bonfires and fire pits crackel, pop and dance and the cool crisp air has the comforting scents of chrysanthimums, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. All our senses are touched with autumn colors, familiar smells, traditional foods and layered outer wear.
The season brings to mind it’s also a time of thanksgiving and so many blessings.
We as Americans have so much for which to be thankful. All the freedoms we have-those involving religion, the freedom to vote as we choose, peace, safety, and the list seemingly goes on into infinity. In a world where we hear so many people complaining on a daily basis about candidates, election outcomes, the weather, employment, family members, yada, yada, yada-let us pause for a moment to consider how much we have to be grateful.
As we gather together around our family’s table this month (whatever family may mean to each of us) let us truly stop and reflect on what this season means and to not only count our blessings but also be grateful for the many people and places we forget to recognize and reflect upon.
The air is filled with fall festivities, flavors and hues, let us remember to be grateful for all the many seasons of our lives.
And in the lyrics of Tim McGraw may we always be “Humble & Kind” in all that we do and say.
