September Savored

September - Savored

 

September, too soon gone ... 

 

The Sun a deep butter-cream, that kind of yellow - yellow that highlights all the yellows of the world - the dandelion yellow stripes hidden in the green grass, waving in the golden tones of waning daylight hours ... 

 

The deep buttery yellow of the noon day sun, flashing summer cadences of August's dog days past ... 

 

All of life basks glowing in the arced sunshine.

 

Fairies trip through back woods golden rod catching the last few rays of summer in golden goblets meant for toasting the coming of harvest and the bounty of fall. 

 

Dream easy this evening, this is September ... when the air is still warm and seductive for sitting outside at sidewalk cafes, lingering over citrus tea with a lover until sunset. 

 

This is the last casting light of summer. 

 

Brief deep yellows light upon all the day touches, before nightfall gains a foothold and October brings orange to the crisp crunch of leaves. 

 

If you watch the lake water, even the gentle waves will beam yellow. 

 

Ah, September ... you will be gone too soon.

It's All About Change - No If's, And's or Butt's About It

It's All About Change - But, But, But ... Get Off Your Butt About It!

Change means adapting, finding what doesn't work, what does work, and then applying something new to what doesn't -- maybe just to see what happens.

Change means getting out of your comfort zone, because it's a dead zone, like the dead zone of excuses.  And a dead zone is a dead life.

I recently discovered just how deadly my comfort zone had become -- it was running, and thus ruining, my life, and I didn't even know it.  The familiar had become a unhealthy, but known quantity that crept up on me.  It was a huge dichotomy -- comfort was creating a big pain in my butt, and I had gotten so used to it being there, that I just kept sitting on it unconsciously, complaining day-after-day -- a knee jerk reaction to life's unwieldy circumstances.

Pain can be a comfort zone, just like excuses, because it becomes familiar, like a bad friend who keeps calling to complain and out of habit you answer the phone, as much as you hate the interaction.

Let the pain in your life go, it's ultimately high maintenance.  Try something new or different, take a risk just of for the heck of it -- just to see what will happen -- don't take yourself too seriously.  Maybe you'll be surprised.  Maybe you'll get rejected.  Maybe you'll find love.  But whatever happens, it will be new and move you up out of your current morass, or maybe it will just move your dead ass!  Whatever the case, it will be good for you either way.  It will make life an adventure, and worth living once again.

Payoff?  Your butt will stop hurting!
