Whirling, twirling round and round

Falling Leaves

Little leaves fall softly down
Red and yellow, orange and brown
Whirling, twirling round and round
Falling softly to the ground

Little leaves fall softly down
To make a carpet on the ground.
Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by
And sends them dancing to the sky.

I can't help but love when the leaves change color. Parents pull out the fall jackets and sweaters. Pumpkin patches are full of children. Apple cider is found hot on the stove. Rakes litter the yard with piles of leaves ready to be jumped it. Shouts during football games. That crisp breeze that flows through the trees.
Memories flow of this beautiful time of year. The echo of Garrett's voice and how he would say ''pumpkin pie'' in years past. Myself and my siblings would spend hours outside in our yard. The chore to rake up the pine cone needles would never be completed. Oh, we would ''start'' to rake them into piles... after gathering a decent pile, we created blueprints of houses on the ground. There was always a certain competition between us to create the best house. Although the sun would set and our hands would go numb. We never wanted to venture back into the house.
What memories do you have this time of year? I recall learning that myself and hayrides DON'T mix well (extremely allergic to hay). So,. who ever chooses to marry me. You will be the one to take the kids on hayrides someday, while I joyfully wait and enjoy hot apple cider. Corn mazes are a blast! I haven't been through many, but that will change as the years come and go.

I like what Robert Brault has said,..
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." I see that this to me is true. What are the little things that mean the most to you?

I just love and adore this movie. Especially the song "I see the Light". When I watch this and listen to this song something in my heart just swells. Such a lovely story.

Thoughts...

Not all days do I ponder on what is happening
and stored in my heart. Today, well yesterday, was my day off. I slept till eleven and continued to relax till two. Upon arising I recognized that I not only felt content physically but also on a spiritual level. At this moment I have been reflecting. Reflecting on what, you may ask.. I would respond .. ''on life''. I carry many burdens. Many of which I am not even aware of. I think of those I care about, my dreams, my memories, my faults, and who I am as a person. I do know that I have much to do in my life, but at times lack the motivation. (I know that this blog entry is random, But I felt like writing.) I am confused and lost with some of the aspects of my life and hope to find some clarity at writing a bit. I talked with one of my Aunts today. I do not have a strong bond with my extended family. I hope to change that some day. Although it has been about three years since I've spoken with this aunt, I still felt my heart go out to her as i talked with her. I get jealous of some of my friends and of the strong bonds they have with the members of their families... I want that. I am striving to establish that with my own.
There is so much to improve on,.. but isn't that why we are here on earth. ;) (picture of me at the Grand Canyon)

Look at these,.. 23 years of life and the things that have been

I love these Photographs and would love to hear commentary on them.
