2022. SEPTEMBER : GRIT (word of the month)

Be Blessed

 Summer and September flow into Fall or the autumnal equinox It takes grit to persevere with grace. Encouragement and motivation come from deep within your heart.  Enduring the pains of giving all your efforts to stay afloat and enjoy every minute of the sunshine season (especially if you live in the northern part) will now be rewarded with shorter days and longer nights.  This will come with a longing to look back but knowing that moving forward is what you are meant to do today. All of this takes Grit!! 

Grit and endurance is something we all must strive for... it’s like climbing; each mountain strengthens our resolve to persevere and only God knows what we will need it for later 

So with that said.. I hope you have had a wonderful sunny summer season that leaves you with a deep feeling of gratitude.

     This year we are anticipating autumn in the usual ways ,stacking hay , watching the sky, listening for the wildlife, and watching the colors change the leaves and grasses to bright reds, golds, and yellows. This year we get to wait gratefully and a little more patiently. 

     The cows are looking for a reprieve from hot summer days.  The shadows are getting larger and the nights longer,(great stargazing lately). Yet autumn will come at it’s own pace and that time will let us gather our grit  in places where we need to store it up for the winter   Those places like the barn, will grant us grand mornings of gratitude and gifts of hay for winter months.

The end of sunshiny, long,  country roads will bring cooler temps and deeper hues begin to look in the shadows and beyond.  Enjoy the transition from one wonderful season to another with a peaceful heart.

Be well, be Blessed, overcome fear, be resilient!    then you have Grace and Grit
