Autumn... My favorite time of year.
These are the months during which I recharge my inner batteries. I reassess what lies behind me. I look to the future in anticipation of experiences and discoveries yet to come as I travel my life's journey.
For these few weeks, the reclusive loner in me sheds her January through September "Get off my lawn!" cynicism and embraces the joy and wonder of October colors, crisp morning air, cooler days, shorter nights, the sight and songs of Canadian Geese and Sandhill Cranes flying over my house, smaller migrating birds stopping at my birdfeeder, foxes coming in to help themselves to the cat food I keep out for feral cats, and... well, just... *sigh*
The Halloween / Thanksgiving / Christmas seasons have always held a sense of comaraderie and togetherness for me, which I attribute to the family traditions of my youth. I passed these traditions on to my now three grown children and they, in turn, have blended them with traditions of their own creation for their children. I savor being included in all of their holiday celebrations. While they are unique in their differences, there is familiar sameness, too.
Over the past year, my inner writing fire diminished until I feared there wouldn't be an ember left to ignite my creativity again. But Cheryl and Livia rekindled my inner spirit not long ago, and I'll bet they don't realize it. So thank you, ladies. Here's looking forward to a more productive writing year for me along with best wishes for another fabulous publishing year for Prairie Rose Publications as well as for my sister and fellow authors.
Until next time,
Kaye Spencer
