The mountains surrounding the valley are well rounded from the mile-high ice that covered the land during the ice age. As the earth warmed, the melting ice rounded the jagged peaks and reshaped the landscape. Well-rounded people have been reshaped by life experiences helping them discover and then share their positive wisdom.

There is something about the sky that is mesmerizing, especially when the clouds are drifting over the mountains. It is a wonderful time to let my mind drift out into the Cosmos to communicate with and receive inspiration from the Sources that exist to guide everyone that take a few moments to do so.

When I decided to create a memorial meditation spot just above the Ormond Gardens, it turned out to be a bigger project then I first thought. I did a lot of prep work with the tractor, grading the slope and creating easy access. Now one wall has been built, and the stones have been laid to finish the outline. In life we sometimes try to take actions before we have considered the cause and effect on ourselves and others.

The old outhouse at the Cabin was there when we took over the property but had never been used for the purpose it was built. We store firewood in it. A lot of things in life are as they appear to be. It is good to be aware.

A few years ago, I cleaned up a small area that was covered with wood debris. Now the goldenrod has taken hold and is welcomed by insects searching for the last drops of nectar before frost sets in. Of course, there are still invasive plants which would like to take over. The same is true in people’s minds. Positivity helps the mind stay clear of debris.

I saw the first pumpkin person to welcome in the fall season standing silently outside the local Historical Society. Soon the valley will be invaded with many more outside businesses and private homes. To me, this is what acts of kindness are all about: much needed joy.

I can see the changes in the leaves taking place every day as Fall takes over the landscape in the mountains. Soon they will be ablaze in color. Change takes place every day year-round when we pay attention to it, especially with heart-based gratitude and anticipation of constant little miracles.

One of my favorite September perennials are the phlox. Despite the lack of rain, they seem to still be able to bloom. I am grateful for life’s color. Some people live in a colorless world, focused on worry and stress, with nothing to be grateful in their hearts. If they would change their focus, they could find it.
