october awe

Finding time to connect with others through written word  has been on my mind lately.  Preparation for writing can be provoking   to this experience.  At times, as we think of how nice it will be to slow down long enough to write a note to a friend, we often dismiss as a luxury.   One suggestion I can lend is to combine this with your daily tea break or even while you enjoy your meal.  Cards and notes on hand (as well as pretty postage stamps) will provide the inspiration.  Set out the notes you intend to write that day and glance at them as you pass by.  You soon will surprise yourself at the fluidity of your words.   As the daylight in our northern communities shades us with amber glow this month, join me in embracing the mood of gratefulness.
