inner mendingโ€ฆ

The Bargain Store by Dolly Parton

My life is likened to a bargain store 
And I may have just what you're looking for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
But with a little mending it could be as good as new

Dear Summer 2019,

Thank you for all of the lovely memories.

I learned a lot about myself over the last three months,

it wasnโ€™t easy, but truly necessary.

With Loving Gratitude,

Lisa

PS The autumnal equinox arrived in the early morning hours of Sept. 23 (at 3:50 a.m. Eastern), the halfway point between ourย longestย andย shortest days of the year. Itโ€™s funny how my โ€œmiddlenessโ€ shows up in nearly every aspect of my life.

Well hello autumn, you know youโ€™ve always been my favoriteโ€ฆ shhhhhhh donโ€™t tell summer.


Ainโ€™t it funny how the night moves
When you just donโ€™t seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

โ€”Bob Seger, Night Moves

No wonder I love this time of year, Iโ€™m constantly reminded of my โ€œmiddlenessโ€ in nearly every aspect of my life.
