GABfest

This Fall has been the most gorgeous I can remember, her colors the most brilliant and varied. Wednesday (two days ago) the sun shone brightly, increasing the vividness. It was warm, almost balmy, with an autumnal breeze.
Then the inevitable happened. Yesterday, the big fat wind came, accompanied by wet cold. The leaves fell like flakes in a blizzard, leaving trees half bare and swaying.
Thank Goodness I was out in that glorious day, sucking it in like and athlete’s breath! Thank goodness I didn’t put it off even one day.
Life’s like that, isn’t it? It’s NOW. Here for the taking, living, loving.
‘Not a dress rehearsal’ as my dad used to say.
So- though the fleeting beauty brings with it, for me, a wistful sadness, I embrace it! Yes, I hate this part. And thank Goodness for each and every (gorgeous) day.
