Today is the last official day of Summer 2009...
We can now choose to either celebrate Autumn 2009 with anticipation or we can choose to rue the closing of Summer 2009 by falling into despair and disappointment...!!!
Life is all about choices...!!!
We learn to make right choices by prudently forming our consciences so as to enable us to make right
decisions...right choices...!!!
In order to accomplish this task, we need some standard of morality upon which to rely...!!!
This should be a reason for rejoicing...for having hope...no matter what your religious or economic situation...!!!
If you are a Christian, you're fortunate enough to have the Bible and Sacred Tradition as a moral compass...If you are a Jew, you have The Torah and Old Testament Scriptures upon which to be guided...if you are an atheist or agnostic, you have the Natural Law that God our Creator has instilled in every human being...!!!
So, no matter who you are, enjoy the magnificent display of the fall colors these next few weeks...and remember...
What is going on right now in nature is necessary to produce everything we enjoy and anticipate about the Spring...!!!

I agree. We should only look forward with a positive attitude. To me, the Fall is the best time of year.
