Living in the South…I am coming more alive by being able to enjoy the outdoors. Our summers here are extremely hot and humid. Lately…we have gotten some “ breaks” in the temps with days in the 70s. I am disabled with severe spinal stenosis and arthritis, fibromyalgia and tendon tears. Miss walking and doing long drives due to pain. I am finding splice in working in my yard. I sit in a chair and prune and weed and pray for others. I feel closest to God when out in nature. I look at life and simple things in an entire different way. Grateful for what I CAN do !! I use to be a very active nurse serving and tending to others. Now I am concentrating on trying to improve myself and lessen some of this pain. My cats and gardening are right now my therapy. Autumn is around the corner !! Look forward to smelling wood burning, leaves changing and a chill in the air.

Often people take fall as the end of great bloom of spring and summer. But what you showed us is that fall shower flowers and leaves just like shower or blessings! May these showers bring a ton of joy, happiness, words, proses, poetry and that lively nature ✨️🤍
