Today. Mabon. Autumn Equinox. Madrone.
The Day we look at what has occurred in the past year and give thanks. Its a harvest time of taking stock.

I love this time of year. Autumn/Fall is my absolute favorite.
This year is overshadowed with insecurity, though. I wish I knew what is going to happen next in my life. It is hard at times to ignore the uncertainty of the move to a new house and the closing of the shop.
I love my work. I especially love it at this time of year. I have put the tea set-up back out for people. I have all the harvest-ey things out, (well, not ALL- but soon) I will have snacks out for people today. I would absolutely love to be wicked busy today with customers buying up all sorts of wonderful things!
What have I grown this year?
Let me see....
Well, our Shop Client Base has grown for sure. I have made more friends.
My Relationship with Michael has been good. We are secure. We got a new dog this past year, and he seems to fit in okay with the family. I have grown in spirituality. I saw my Poole Clan this year. We grew food, and I started the Pagan Meet & Greet this year.
Things are... overall... I don't know.

Forest Life...

So.. then.. The picture to right is a beautiful thing. When I look at it, I can feel about it.. the feeling of being in that place. I love the feeling of autumn forests.

Then that brings me to the thought process of intentional feeling. Making or direction of emotion to create life-ways. I have always been a big supporter and speaker of this, however, I have at times not been able to keep with it, I get lost. But I know it is said to 'Reach for the better thought, the better feeling' - isn't that a therapeutic way of being? When I think of better thoughts, I think of a scene of autumn, of the porch where I sit, wrapped in a shawl on a dark evening, cool outside, staring out down the driveway.

Well... as Mike Dooley says... Take Baby steps. ;)
So, here I go...off to take steps, make way, and Be in this life...
