... hello Monday ... hello gratitude ...

Hello Monday...

hello to summer coming to a close here

 for us in SoCal.

It's been a really good summer...

and for that I am grateful...

especially  for beach time with Hunter and Ellis.

As the season changes to fall..

reflecting on the good  times of summer is on my mind...

I am ever so grateful to have had the opportunity

for time spent  with my darling  daughter.

I am grateful for summer evenings shared with my husband...

as happy as I am for fall's arrival...

summer evening sunset strolls will definitely be missed by me.

As I am at an age to  have seen so many seasons pass...

I am truly making an effort to

savor and enjoy the moments...

both large and small...

for they all too soon will become part of a rich 

and

 beautiful past.

... small ones like a beautiful dinner made for me...

by my generous and loving husband...

during an evening I needed to work...

Hello Monday...

I am so much more fond of you...

as I have learned each week...

to stop...

and...

reflect...

for so very much that I

am truly grateful for.

Hello Monday...

hello to  falls fast approach...

Hello to gratitude for a return to schedules...

and predictable days...

for as much as I can appreciate summer's freedom...

it's counterpart..

is a welcomed change.

Hello to gratitude for the fact...

that to everything ....

there is truly a season.

Hello to all the promises of a new season.

as always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
