Eye Candy Friday

October 16, 2020 By Carole

Last weekend I got an email inviting me to come pick up a bonus mini-bouquet of dahlias. I took it as a sign to finally visit the trails around this pond which is right down the road from the flower farm. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining and the foliage was blazing and the water was very very blue. I’m glad I accepted the invitation, not just for the dahlias but for the chance to try something new.

I hope you’ll be open to invitations this weekend that encourage you to try something new, too.

    Mother Nature really puts on an amazing show this time of year, doesn’t she? Glad you got a bit of extra beauty — the dahlias and the view.

    Oh, that’s just beautiful. I’m always sorry to see summer end, but the transition sure can be lovely.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
