Lovely Leaves

Some of the leaves on a tree in the yard are clinging tenaciously to the branches.

Makes me think of the house, our dwelling place for the last18 years.

 Heels are digging in even though it is well known that within a few days, the house will no longer be mine.

It's a weird feeling and not fun

There are moments when a terrible sadness squeezes the heart. 

Other times, however, there's a feeling of great relief that there will be some real freedom once the new owner of the house takes over the bills and maintenance.

Like the trees in autumn, in their exquisite attire,  all good things come to an end, and just like in life, as well. 

We see, we cherish, we witness devastating changes, we start again and find new horizons and hills and valleys.

 May you all have a truly blessed Saturday.
