I have been fortunate to once again vacation by Alix Lake. It has been a delight to see the multicoloured leaves reflected in the waters, watch the ducks gathering below my window and observe the sun set over the waters. The early morning mist rising over the waters lends a mystical air to the scene.
I took a walk around the Lake one afternoon. It was a delight to walk along with the wind rustling the leaves overhead and my feet crunching the leaves below. I was able to see where the beavers have been busy this year.
Fall is an exciting time of year. The days are getting nippier. The leaves are changing colour and drifting to the ground. The gardens and fields are being harvested. Fall is also a time when many of us sign up for classes to learn new skills.
As we approach Thanksgiving, we are reminded to count the blessings in our lives. Despite everything that has happened this past year, we still all have lots to be thankful for. Do you have eyes to see and a heart to appreciate the beauty around you...give thanks. Are you healthy...give thanks. Are you employed...give thanks. Do you have friends and family that you are in contact with...give thanks. Does your life have meaning and purpose...give thanks. Did you wake up this morning...give thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
