I have learned especially later in life that every day can and should count. I embrace it as best I can with my loved ones because you never know when it can end. You simply have to live each day because that is all we have. Thanks for sharing your beautiful writing with the world. Best, Bob Hi Belinda,

It gives the wonderful feel of autumn both the season and season of life (as Glynn said) . It's a kind reminder to take in the day and honor it by making it count and noticing it's specialness.

There are so many big and little ways to make a differance every second, minute, hour and day. A simple smile, holding open a door, supporting a friend. I love that I know this and make up for any time I forget. I miss fall...the smells, colors and especially the grapes. Belinda,

Swallowed by ebonized skies
Shines long after
Tiny toddlers have shaken
The dutiful sleep
Off their sprightly limbs”

That's something I've really been meditating upon lately, and I find that autumn is a season that invites us into that meditation most poetically. Peace! Belinda,

I'm in the autumn of my life, edging closer to the winter...you've captured that feeling. I enjoyed browsing your blog. Note that you live in SF...we moved here to Reno from Half Moon Bay. We're almost neighbors. Love the City. Enjoy the rest of autumn and thanks for stopping by my blog. Victoria Belinda, this poem is absolutely exquisite.
