Winter is upon our doorstep.
Richard J Edwards 1960 (Ft Belvoir)
Well the winter is almost here. The leaves on the trees are turning and falling to the ground. Mother nature is whispering assignments to all the creatures. Fires are lit in fireplaces to create warmth and coziness. The sun will decide to take an occasional day off as the snow clouds move in to do their stuff. Cuddling to stay warm is not the only reason to do it. The birth rate will go up and newborns will find their way to the household come spring. There's an harmless and yet unusual silence that takes hold before during and after a snowfall. If you really allow yourself to soak it in the silence can unmask sounds that are usually drowned out by other more prominent sounds. You can breath magic into this winter wonderland as your heart soars high into the atmosphere and see the twinkling light bounce off snow mounds. Winter is a good time to search your thoughts in a slight reflective manner come to some better conclusions that will better yourself. We need to be always growing ourselves into a better more wise version of our selves. Getting older is God's tool to help us with that. On the average winter lasts from start to finish Close to six months and that's enough time to do it right. Always lead with love and the value of life your own as well as all others. Dont try and rush anything in life because you will miss alot if you do.
