the old man can't wait

for the leaves to turn

I must confess that i enjoy reading them because my mindset is similar at the moment. Not sure if I should blame the clock or the season - if there's a difference.

Anonymous Poet said...: No. I'm not 72, yet. But I appreciate patience more and more as I go -- as "it" goes by more and more quickly.

I try to focus on making the "in between" times in life meaningful, even if it is just by reading a good book or by taking a nice walk. Or by looking up at the sky. Or by being thankful that I have a roof over my head and money to pay the bills.

So, I will enjoy the leaves when they turn, too. But I will enjoy the pleasant weather in the meantime, as well.
