As a former educator, autumn always brings with it the possibility of new beginnings. For me, in many respects, it conjures up a predisposition for change-making similar to that which arises within me with the approach of New Years Day. The coming of fall repeatedly offers me an opportunity to examine my priorities going forward and make minor adjustments to my personal goals.
The Best Western Hotels, asserts, “Life is a trip. Make the most of it.” This company slogan gifts me with a bit of easily remembered wisdom for my daily living. It reminds me that no day is ordinary, indeed every day is unique offering me 84,600 seconds of newness. Back to school days, offer all of us a chance to set our inner GPS for where we wish to travel on our life’s trip and how we might make the most of it.
May you have fulfilling autumn days.
