The First Day Of Autumn!

I just could not let this day go by and not reflect on this being the first day of Autumn! It is this time that Mabon is also being celebrated!

Mabon is my most favortie of all! I love the fall seasons and the cooler temperatures. But the season is about more than that.

Mabon is the time to harvest all that one has and celebrate that harvest. It is also a time of preparing one's self for the upcoming winter.

There are a lot of things that I have to be grateful about and even though I can't celebrate the beginning of Mabon in the way that I like I will be able to do it in a few days! I even have my grocery list of the Mabon-related things that I want to buy - like nuts, pound cake and even a nice bottle of wine to enjoy quiet times of reflection and meditation!

My Favorite Time Of Year!

I don't know if I mentioned it or not () but this is my favorite time of year!



Mabon is not far away and it is the time of the year where we celebrate in our harvest and get ready for the winter months ahead.



I don't know where you live but where I live (Philadelphia area) the weather is so cool today! The wind is blowing - even gushing at times - and I saw people wearing jackets and parkas! Only a few days ago it was so hot and humid that you almost didn't want to wear anything!

Attitude, The Ultimate Power!

I have added a new link to the side of my blog. It is a link to another blog that posts about Attitude and how having a good one will affect you in all areas of your life!

Attitude, The Ultimate Power!

I have just spent an exhausting time reading through the many posts of this blog! And the reason is because there are many posts that I was interested in reading!

Dealing with the negative thoughts in my mind is something that I am constantly working on and finding this blog was great! (Maybe it was even a sign to point me to somewhere that would help me deal with this). And I'm now glad that I found this blog!

I Had Another "Experience" With The Rain Today

Sometimes it just feels like nature is saying "I'm going to give you a little break today".

In the past I have wrote about my "strange" experiences with the rain and the same "experience" happened to me today!

I went to my local store which is a few blocks away so I walk there. Now I had seen that it had been raining since early this morning but there was something that I needed to get at the store. So I got my umbrella and started on my way. After all it hasn't rained here in a while and we surely needed the rain so there was nothing really to complain about.

As I stepped outside (with my umbrella) I noticed that while it was wet outside it wasn't raining so I carried my umbrella with me and went on my way! (As a side note here I remember reading about how one should get out and enjoy nature every once in a while and that is what I decided to do as I walked to the store.)

I enjoyed not being rained upon as I walked to the store but I had my umbrella ready and waiting just in case it did start to rain. It didn't! So I walked to the store, took in a lot of nature and walked back home.

About 5 minutes later it started to storm!

Isn't that something! And the very same thing has happened to me many a time!

Now there have been one or two instances of me being out in the rain when it was actually raining but my thoughts were that nature was telling me that even though it gives me a "break" sometimes don't take it too much for granted. It is a gift that I am giving you.
