September...Good Thoughts

       Yes...I know what's on a lot of people's minds today, and my heart goes out to the families of those who have lost someone they love. Death and change and bad memories are never easy. Thankfully I know that the world's future is shiny and perfect and fear-free. I'll be happy to tell everyone I come in contact with today about it.
        With the crisp September air coming through my window, and birds gently squawking their territory call, my hubby softly breathing beside me, and the silent whirring of my air purifier, I sit and ponder the 'good' of September and things that give me a chuckle or a smile. That's what I want to share with you today.
      The Autumn Path fine art photo, in the header photo, by AestheticFocus...Delicious corn on the cob...
          ...and strawberries from Maine. (from the blog Hither and Thither)
        
        The beautiful mustard yellow colors of a new treasury entitled "Love the color, hate the condiment" by bohorain...
        ...in which she included my Gold and Black Button Crochet Flower Necklace from my Wuglyees shop.
       
         A pair of Lumberjack Axe and Saw Earrings by ChristineDomanic...
     
        A Felt Kitty Necklace by FiveOClocks...


       A Fashionably Classic Ruffle Scarf...
       ...and a skinny Striped Petal one too, by FAIRYTALE13.
         And just because it's 'smile-inducing'...not to mention warm looking...
     ...the prettiest little crochet rainbow scarf you ever seen...by TheMommalady. (I wish I had been the one that thought of putting these beautiful colors together!! ^_^)
      Okay....time to close the window and wake up the hubby so we can get some breakfast before our early meeting today...Later on today it'll be watching the U.S. Open Tennis finals between Samantha Stosur and Serena Williams, and more crocheting on my Fall inspired scarf. (I'll show it to you tomorrow)
     Please find some time to think some good thoughts of September today. There's certainly going to be enough sad ones to go around...Here's my attempt at starting a September good thought for you today. :-]


September

The changing of the seasons,
squirrels that scurry everywhere,
a cup of steeping apple cider,
and the crisp and cooler air.

Cozy scarves and football games,
and harder to get out of bed,
worrying whether frost will come,
and what is flying overhead.

September brings a lot of thoughts,
and some reflection will be sad.
But as the years and seasons change,
good thoughts replace the bad we've had.

  10. It is very sad day for many people. I'm glad you had some positive thoughts and things to share.
    Love the Earth, Wind & Fire song. I hadn't heard that one for such a long time.

  11. CinLynn, With my exhaustion lately, and my bones and muscles aching like crazy because of the weather, I CAN'T WAIT for 'something better'!!!...In the meantime, I'll just amuse myself with my 'babies'! ^_^ And I'm glad other people are starting to see them too! It gives me more impetus to keep creating...And, of course, for now...there's also always tennis!! ^_^

  12. Jo-anne, Thank you. :-) I had seen so many sad posts that I just didn't want to add to them. And Fall is a perfect time to think about a "change", right?! :-) And I hadn't heard that song for a while myself, but it was perfect, wasn't it?!...Have a good day today, Jo!!
