The End of Summer

I always look forward to the end of summer (and I don’t mean this).  I love the semi-cool air that finally moves in after a long, humid, HOT summer…weather like we’re having now.  I think of it as “September 11 weather” because it was just this sort of day six years ago when the world got knocked off its axis - sunny, a little hot, bluebird sky.  It is the kind of day where I ALMOST wish I was back in my old office at the old building where we could open the windows and breathe the fresh air.

It is amazing how a change in the weather can affect my perspective.   Problems don’t seem as big when it’s 70 degrees, and possibilities seem bigger.  We are a strange body-soul combination, and the physical realm can have a huge impact on the spiritual.

I think a key indicator of spiritual and emotional growth is when we act according to our most deeply-held beliefs in spite of the physical circumstances.

I have a long ways to go.  But it’s easier when the weather is nice. :)

    I thought she was supposed to ask for words of wisdom before taking drastic action.
    Hey Dennis, how’s your back?
