fourteen

on this fourteenth day
i am thankful
for crisp fall leaves beneath my feet


a call from our friends
and an hour later
we are in town 
relaxing with them
at the coffee shop

as we are driving
i look about me,
out the window
the beautiful trees &
all the colors of fall
and am thankful.

it is such a beautiful time
of year
and i am blessed that 
we can enjoy a day
with friends
laughing over coffee
and visiting

when we arrive home
i step out of the car
and into a pile of leaves...
i look down at them and
am struck by how many colors
are in a pile of leaves...

blown and tossed by
the wind
they gather and land-

the sight is so lovely
i grabbed the camera
and quick 
snap a picture,
mainly to remember 
the beauty that was in
today...

may you too find beauty today~

It is wonderful that you are so aware of all the beauty around you :o)So often we all seem to get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, and we forget to truly appreciate the wonder surrounding us...Well, I am guilty of this anyway! I loved the way you wrote this post :o)

I love the colours UK now. I really miss that here on Dubai. But even here in the desert this time of year feels so much better. Cooler, kinder, more alluring. I hide from the sun, but even I can enjoy this. And it'; be like this for months. Bliss. X
