Sizzling September

Artist Unknown

Normally, the first of September would bring a crisp, fresh breeze and signs that Fall is approaching, but today it's hot!  Clear signs that Summer is still here, live and in effect.

With age comes patience because I can wait for Fall.  I would like to enjoy these last days of Summer and possibly wear some things I have been putting off for a "Special" occasion.  Today is special, and if I am granted the gift of tomorrow, that too is special.

As I hope and pray for the most delightful fourth quarter, I can't move forward without taking a little glance back at the ones I would love to have beside me - physically.  

I still feel their presence all around me like wind and warmth.  I miss touching them, I miss the sounds that they made, the way they filled up every room they were in.  I love how I am constantly reminded that they will always be with me, regardless of time and space.  

This month is the beginning of a change that I hope I am prepared for because, Lord knows, I prayed for it.

I hope this month will be as magical for everyone as I know it will be for me.
