Monday morning cup of thoughts

Fall colors and thoughts

The trees outside my windows are putting on a show before they drop their vibrant leaves and rest for the winter. This time of year fills my soul. Wishing you all a week with time to savor Mother Nature’s bounty.

If you should happen to catch a glimpse of what really matters in life, regard it with care. 

Decorate it with flowers. Cover it with love. Hold it in the sunshine. 

Give it a little bit of time and attention. And when the world tries to push you forward, listen to your heart instead. 

Because if you don’t make time for what really matters, no one is going to do it for you. 

Taking a few minutes to savor everyday wonders makes the heart fuller, the inner doubts quieter, and the human connections stronger. 

And that’s when the ordinary becomes extraordinary for yourself and those who share your life.
