Autum

I was driving through town listening to the wind outside and noticing the changes in color of all of the fall leaves. Spring is a time of rebirth. Summer is a time of growth. Autum is the time to harvest what you planted. Winter is a time to rest. This made me wonder about what others were harvesting this time of year. Karma? The fruits of their labors? I know this has been the year that I have taken a small leap of faith to become fully self-employed and self-directed. I have hired a marketing person. I have flown way out into the cyber world, further than I knew was possible. I have become connected to people I didn't know existed and have been inspired by them. I have undergone my first year as a parent. Talk about facing your own personal issues. Children do that ya know! Autum is also a good time to give thanks. I am thankful for my healthy daughter. I am deeply thankful for my immediate and extended family. I am thankful that even though we are facing a economic crunch, as a society, my family's business is doing well. I am grateful for my health as well as my husband's. I wonder though...what are you about to harvest and what do you have to be thankful for?

Beautiful post! I believe I am harvesting relationships right now. In just the past 60 days I have met some wonderful women via blogs and social networking (you included) and it all has opened me up to receive so much! I feel like I have been reassured that I am where I am supposed to be doing what I am supposed to do. I am connecting with these people for a very special reason!
