Did the "first thought" thing again and it was Harvest Moon (hence the music ~ also it is a song I remember as one of my Mom's favorites).
Than I started thinking about my life.....
Yes, I think I am in the harvest of my life. I am reaping what I have sowed (And I'm thinking I must have done something right to have the family and friends I have. I love my job, the people I work with.) I am thinking the harvest is good!!! Am wishing a similar harvest for each of you!
My picture is not one of my life, although it goes back to the trip on the Natchez Trace Parkway in 2006. It would be impossible to include all the beautiful things in my life in one picture or even a hundred pictures for that matter. The picture is to go with the quote beneath it. And it was taken with my Kodak Z740 Digital Camera.
"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others.
We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to weither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace."
~ Kent Nerburn
TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU
Again I say this is the best because of the words you wrote and came from your heart. I hope your harvest is one full of love, friendship and all your hearts dreams fulfilled.

I love to ride the bike down the Natchez Trace. I go over there several times in the summer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post~!
Timing is perfect as there is a full moon today. I love the wheat fields. I usually get a wheat centerpiece and then replant some seeds the next year and they do grow. :) I also love wide open spaces. I too thought about what I have sowed and reaped. Thanks this was nice.

ReplyDeleteOne AWESOME picture accompanied by a WONDERFUL quote is enough to describe the purpose of my entire life - of why I'm still here - breathing, being alive...
ReplyDeleteTears are coming down from my eyes while I'm typing right now, Linda.
Yes - I will give and God bless your soul for reminding me of this... *hugs*
