Autumn and INDIAN SUMMER! Analogy to our lives!

Bob Schieffer (pronounced /ˈʃiːfər/

  Falls for Autumn (Wordplay).

Celebrating New Season, 

Says the Last Part of Anything 

Can Be as Beautiful as the Beginning 

Schieffer is an American jour

Today I'm using someone else's WORDS. 

Bob Schieffer is a very well respected journalist.

I read the following posting on his blog and 

wanted to share it with you because it represents the part of our lives 

that we, most of us reading this, are experiencing right now.

We are in the AUTUMN of our lives! 

Although I would much prefer to say 

the INDIAN SUMMER of our lives. 

I like this analogy much better!!! ... 

much, much better!

So here is what he had to say:  

 "I would guess that more poems have been written about spring than any other time of the year. And it's not surprising; spring is a time of beginnings, of expectations and hope. 

But yesterday I noticed the leaves on my favorite maple tree were beginning to turn. They are yellow now - soon they'll be red. 

I've been watching that tree put on its fall show for many a year now. 

Every year seems better than the one before. 

I love spring, but I've come to like the fall even more, maybe because as we grow older we come to understand that the last part of anything can be as beautiful as the beginning, because only then can we fully appreciate what has gone before. 

Fall brings its special delights - the colors, the crispness in the air, Halloween and Election Day - even though it is getting harder and harder to tell which is which - they are still both worth doing.  I love fall. So far, this has been a really good one!"

And what a great Indian Summer Day were are having TODAY!

 A COINCIDENCE ??!!

See you outside!
