reflection: As Petals washed from clinging limbs.

To clench the failing grip on time, So tightly that tired fingers numb, The loosened grasp, the hold gives in As petals washed from clinging limbs! (R Weisser 2013) How often do we try to hold on to something far too long? Whether it is a possession, a belief or tenet, or even a way of doing business the natural tendency is to hold on to what we’ve got. Change is inevitable because time does not stand still. Whether we want to or not, tomorrow we will be older. But it’s up to us to devise if we will be wiser! … (7 comments)
reflection: "Washed along the sluice of time."

The days grow short and darkness loomsO’er what was once fresh buds and shootsNow petals loosed and drifting blindAre washed along the sluice of time. (R. Weisser 2011) As the last leaves succumb to the rake, it’s hard to believe that the holidays are already upon us. The transition from Fall to the holiday season is always an easy one. It is a delightful albeit often a bittersweet passage. There are plenty of activities to plan and lots to be done in anticipation of the upcoming festivities. Every year it seems that there … (19 comments)
reflection: Enjoying the last cool breezes of the Spring on the first Sunday in May!

As I am writing this, I am sitting outside on the deck, enjoying what will probably be some of the last cool breezes of the Spring. I suspect that we are going to have another hot Summer here in Newnan, because we have already had some afternoons pushing 90 degrees, and that was hot for April! Now that May is here, pleasant and cool mornings will slowly erode and we’ll have to wait until October for them to return. A cool breeze combined with a hot cup of coffee is a pleasure that cannot be described by mere words. It is … (15 comments)
reflection: As the year dwindles to its ultimate conclusion, I begin to reflect on “What might have been ….if?”

Although we have over a month left to go in 2009, the onset of the holidays gives one pause to reflect on the year past, both on the good things and the things that “might have been.” I have experienced a lot of successes this year and a few failures. What started out as an ambitious and optimistic plunge into the new year was constantly assaulted by unforeseen outside forces beyond my control. Every day has been a battle, and while I was able to prevail in many cases it was not without casualties. I have seen many friends give up … (20 comments)
reflection: Sunday mornings are a time for quiet reflection and looking forward to the week ahead!

Sunday mornings are the calm before the storm. It's always a quiet time, as the world seems to pause for a few hours before religious services or weekend chores. It's a great time to both catch your breath and to get a grip on your plans for the upcoming week. And it's going to be a very interesting week. The NFL Conference Championship games on Sunday will determine which two teams go on to the Super Bowl. Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, followed on Tuesday by the historic inauguration of our new president. Add to that some interesting twists … (38 comments)
