MY 86TH FALL

It's Fall again.....my 86th Fall. How fortunate I have been. I was born in November 1922 so as you can see, I will be having my 87th birthday soon.

I'm surprised at how fast the seasons pass. I'm so happy I can still enjoy them, still drive, am able to meet my friends for lunch, take some trips, watch sports on TV, belong to an exercise class and still do most of the things I have done all these years. (Maybe at a little slower pace).

I'm also so fortunate to have my 3 sons, their wives, my grandkids and great grands. and two Sisters, who contact me or visit often.

No doubt this was all brought to mind today since I have been out in the sunshine, sweeping the beautiful maple leaves off my patio and sidewalk. How happy I am to be able to see the beauty all around me and to still be able to hear the birds and watch the squirrels.

I'm thankful today for all the above and for the 86 years I have lived. I've been blessed....
