Mary and I know you are busy but see if you can add one more thing to your to-do list for fall:
Porch sit for one morning or afternoon, all day preferred. Watch a leaf fall, a bird fly, the breeze blow. Count your blessings, remember enjoying a fall day from your youth, recall a childhood friend. Smell the air, watch the clouds float by, be grateful. Lowers blood pressure, clears the mind, increases your joy. Time well spent.
