WHOA! Where did September go?

September and October may be my favourite months!

So beautiful.

So sunny.

So red and yellow and orange.

I don't love winter.....and although I know fall is just the prelude to winter I can't help but love these beautiful last days of summer. Mother Nature really out does herself during autumn. I mean, spring is nice - but fall is just incredible. 

I suppose it is like everything in life - you see what you want to see.  You can see the good, the positive, the beauty - or you can see the bad, the negative, the darkness. It is a choice. It is always a choice. In every situation there is always the option.....and it is always up to you.

Every once in a while we get knocked off course; something happens in our lives that takes our attention and redirects it for a moment. These events are often unexpected, they are big, they are small and sometimes they are even traumatic, sometimes they are preventable and most of the time they are not. No matter what they are - they are. They get our attention and if we aren't careful we can lose focus on all of the good and beautiful things in our lives, we can get carried away and overwhelmed and forget what is important.

They can cloud our vision like a dirty pair of sunglasses so that all we can see is the negative.......the bright side is gone.....everyone is an asshole, the weather is too cold, people are taking too long to do things, this restaurant sucks......and so on and so on.

So much better to see the good, the positive, the beauty. So much better to be happy.

Not always easy - but certainly better. 

 So remember, as you travel the road of life - to look for, find and share goodness everyday, you will feel better - and so will all the people around you!
