a year is short but a day is long

the change from summer to autumn came quickly this year. i've  had to turn on the heat a few mornings to get the coldness out...but i don't mind. i still choose to walk around in bare feet, and drape a sweater around me until the afternoon warmth shows up...yesterday was autumn, shooting a happily engaged couple on the dock of the mississippi river. it was white wine, and love was in the air...
i believe im in love with being in love...with 3am cuddles, and notes left on the table, long hugs that could go on forever until someone pulls away first...
kisses on the forehead have always been a favorite...
and laying on a blanket under the stars on a summer night...

 i love october and her change of colors that she sweeps in with her. vibrant oranges , reds, yellows brightly lit upon a windex colored sky....so beautiful.

today is my daddy's birthday. he's been gone 20 years now, just doesn't seem possible. 

that old saying, "A year is short, but the days are long" is indeed so true.

~~~~~~~~~~~

the world is a beautiful place, but it's getting harder and harder to find it between the shootings, the hatred, the arguing just for the sake of arguing. 

my world scares me....

i dont understand the madness of it all

the madness in people, the chaos 

they don't understand how heavy hate is and there is so much more of it in our world today.

i sit and wonder how we got here...

XOXO
