September! It's here, it came, sigh. I look forward to it every year. My month I say, my birthday, fall is in the air or at least around the corner. This year is the big....50. whooh! Don't know how to think about it, since it has been on my mind for at least a year and a half. Leering at me at best. People say it's only a number, whatever. To me it's the end of one phase and a start of another, the "old" phase ? Not sure. I just look at where I am, compared to where I think I should be, want to be.....and am not. Part of ones past gets mixed in there too. Autumn IS favorite time of year,and I find many joys in it. And I have decided to say it, I HATE SUMMER! I have gone so far as to say that it is my "summer of my discontent". sigh, it is....sorry, that is probably why I haven't written....for so long. August was soooo hot, my garden like quit on me. Coupled with all the late, and too much rains.
The fact that everybody else seems to be doing something fun, and I'm not. Yep it's pitty party time. I do try to look on the bright side. Most of the time I can pull myself up by the bootstraps and deal, manage, have some measure of joy, I am a Christian after all. And we are all about the joy, or should be.
Anyway, I will find the joy, keep on keeping on, my birthday will come and go. I will try to celebrate it....me. And the good things that I have, for I do. Family, health, friends, those are sooo important. And help make life livable, enjoyable!
I have been knitting, we celebrated some grandkids birthdays. Had a family reunion, and got together for an evening with some old friends. The weather has not been conducive to sitting out, with the rain, humidity, and now the mosquito's that would carry you off and eat you, and the "ride'um cowboy" bumbles that we seem to be housing near our garden. Sheesh! sick of them nesting here! There I feel better now, and I will go read some of my fav blogs, and see what others are doing, and feeling. Love to do that, although time is not always available, it is something to look forward too. I think that I will get out some of my fall decorations, and start setting them around. Too soon, IT WILL be time for mums, and pumpkins, flannels, and sweaters, a fire in the fireplace..... aaaah, my kind of days. Keep the JOY!!!
