"We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun...." (Terry Jacks)
Summer is gone, a memory ready to put into books, the dawn of Fall breaking across the land just a few scant hours ago. The season seemed to fast in its living, the years seeming to pick up speed in their passing as my own odometer quickly races to 59, then 60...seconds, hours and days like sand through an hour glass trickling into the past. A part of me wishes for a slowing of the pace, for seconds to slip by at a less than brisk pace, wanting somehow to stretch out what time there is in which to make memories that need to last me for an eternity.
This summer, only made it too the beach twice...think I need to find a way to get at least one more trip in down to the Jersey Shore before the temperatures plummet and snow is falling to the ground. Other than that, summer was in some ways uneventful, no vacation to some far off lands, no weekend getaways for camping or other enjoyable past times. Looking back, in some ways the proverbial wasted season...lost opportunity regretted after it is too late.
So, Fall begins, mornings already cooler in their arrival, the green of the trees showing hints of color yet to come. I have a busy day. A drive over to Westchester County across the Tappan Zee for a job interview later in the morning. A stop at Lowe's for more stain, then this afternoon a few hours of painting...thinking I will try for two gallons of stain on the fence in hopes of bringing that task closer to being done. I have to call Marcel who seems to be always upset to see what is on her mind, or what new jobs she wants to add to the list of things she wants done. Perhaps not today, but at some point this week laundry has to be done, and my apartment though small again is in need of some dusting and cleaning...All important tasks, but where in that list is some FUN?
Perhaps if I can rush through my tasks I can find some time in today's schedule to take a walk over to Piermont and back with my camera, a pleasant few hours out and about to celebrate the day.
To those who find their way here...
May your Fall be one filled with memorable moments.
For those celebrating "Rosh Hashanah" which begins two days from now at sunset, wish you a Happy New Year filled with love, happiness, and a realization of all your dreams.
