Take Time To Sit In Your Garden

Give yourself permission to revel in the beauty around you.

Celebrate what you have created.

 Focus on your successes not the defeats.

 There's always a list and there's always a project, but, how many beautiful fall days will there be like today?

When the autumn sun  lights up grasses;

makes leaves glow a brilliant red;

or,  highlights simple fruits? 

Soon, I will miss the golden colors and the warm days, but, not today. 

Today, I will sit in the garden and revel in the beauty. I hope you will, too.
