In this change of seasons, I refresh on the past as I ready myself for a leap forward, well, maybe like a snail leaps, rather unnoticeable, but there, nevertheless. I appreciate that flowers are still blooming: roses, marigolds, nasturium, impatiens, lavender, rosemary, and geraniums, Bees are busy, and, I, too, feel a thrust to gather and reap.
In Sarah Ban Breathnach’s book Simple Abundance, she writes:
It seems to me that January resolutions are about will; September resolutions are about authentic wants. . . . The beauty of autumnal resolutions is that no one else knows we’re making them. Autumnal resolutions don’t require horns, confetti, and champagne. September resolutions ask only that we be open to positive change.
