TIME

I am so annoyed I have spent an hour trying to upload a picture.  I know that in the grand scheme of life whatever that is it is a tiny little thing; but it is my little hobby that I enjoy and hopefully others enjoy and also a way to keep in touch with family.

Is there a message in this?
I went outside to take a picture and see if that would work.  It took 25 tries which I could live with if I knew it would work.

I also walked down by the salmon stream and as you can see the leaves are starting to fall.  I decide to enjoy my walk and forget about my computer.  I enjoy seeing the children walk by me on the way to school so that is a change as I usually go earlier.  It is warming up and going to be a beautiful day, the air is fresh and I can smell the grass and the flowers.

I want to be in a good mood for when I go visiting our moods do affect others at home or away from home. 

My mind wanders as I think how fortunate I am as I stop to take pictures.  Thinking about yesterday's drive I think I knew the direction I wanted to go but there where no roads that appeared to be going in the right direction.  I was wondering if they would have let me across the border.  Yes, I know there are turn off points but it did surprise me when I saw the signs that said it lay ahead.

While dad goes for his walk in the forest I make us sandwiches, really cramed with good things.  Almost as good as some of Shandel's preparations.  I debate to myself whether I should hide the cookie jar because I know if he gets a little hungry that is what dad reaches for. 

I try to keep things out of the house, like cake, that would be tempting for me too.  Fortunately i have lots of my own cookies!

One of the puroses in this life seems to be to learn to love, and to reach out to others.  Also I have learned that the world is not designes to make me happy.  I also like to believe that there are some things like deeds of courage or kindness, or compassion that link our lives with the unknown.
