Today the seasons of the year 2019 change.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Today Summer ends and Autumn begins.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
Autumn 2019 : The fall equinox<\/b> is today Monday September the 23rd.<\/div>\n

The 2019 equinox<\/b>\u00a0will begin at 3:50 a.m Eastern Standard\u00a0Time<\/b>. At that precise moment, the sun will be directly in line with the equator.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The seasons of the year.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The seasons of life itself.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Autumn gets more and more poignant for me each year. At age 83, although I certainly don’t know which it is, I feel that I probably am now into the late Autumn of my life or even the early Winter.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Spring ended for me decades ago. Summer too certainly has ended for me.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Or has it?<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
But if it has ended, when did my Summer end and when did the Autumn of my life begin? I can’t say with any certainty. The issue is this : I would think that the very peak of one’s life would define the very height of Summer.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
IF that be the case, I am right smack dab in the middle of my Summer. This amazing past year has got to be one of the greatest highlights of my life to date. My entire life experience has prepared me for what I am now doing.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Could it be that my life will be 25% Spring and 70% Summer? How many people lay down to go to sleep and their life ends peacefully.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Where was their Autumn and Winter?\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Attitude. So much of life is our Attitude.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
ATTITUDE<\/em>\u00a0.. by .. Charles Swindoll<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company\u2026 a church\u2026 a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past\u2026 we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude\u2026 I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Today’s Rhetorical Question :<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
IF I feel that I am into my late Summer or early Autumn of my life, who’s to say I’m not?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Then again, Autumn has always been a favorite season for me. So IF that is the height of life, then I am tickled to be in Autumn.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Music. What would we do without music?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Theme song from the movie ‘The Summer of 42’ is haunting. Words from the song are the title of this Post.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Nana Mouskouri sings..<\/div>\n

The summer smiles, the summer knows
\nAnd unashamed, she sheds her clothes
\nThe summer smooths the restless sky
\nAnd lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie<\/p>\n

The summer knows, the summer’s wise
\nShe sees the doubts within your eyes
\nAnd so she takes her summer time
\nTells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
\nTwists the world ’round her summer finger
\nLets you see the wonder of her arm?<\/p>\n

And if you’ve learned your lesson well
\nThere’s little more for her to tell
\nOne last caress, it’s time to dress for fall<\/p>\n

And if you’ve learned your lesson well
\nThere’s little more for her to tell
\nOne last caress, it’s time to dress for fall<\/p>\n

It’s time to dress for fall<\/p>\n

Below is a long and beautiful piano instrumental version..<\/p>\n
