October is a month to relax and enjoy a pure blue sky and breathe in the colors, sights and sounds of autumn.
While many people find sadness in this season, I have always found that as the leaves turn I feel renewed. I am reminded that their is much beauty at the end and that the journey to this point has been full of life. I also feel like buying new clothes because of the old habit of the new school year shopping sprees from my youth. The feeling of a new school year always brought anxiety over the unknown. Unknown teachers, classes, changes in last year's classmates. Somehow fall continues to feel that way to me. A certain anxiety sweeps over me as I wonder what is in the future. An equal portion of serenity falls over me as I reflect on the path that has led me to today. I suppose it is the balance that counts as advantageous to living fully.
October is filled with yard sales, concerts, health fairs and festivals. Yes even hospice participates in these events because we believe in celebrating life.
Today I attended the Brasstown Manor Assisted Living "Senior Enrichment Day". There was not a great many in attendance but I looked at the community as I left the event and noticed that everyone seemed to have an event taking place. I don't feel badly that my information was not seen by the majority of the population. Actually with the activity noted all around me, I feel pretty lucky to have spent time with old friends and be introduced to new ones. One new friend, a new set of clothes, anxiety, serenity, anticipation, and beauty everywhere in the colors of the mountains - now if I can only find my teacher!
Join us Monday at 3:30 p.m. on North Georgia Community Resources as we interview some of the people involved in the Union County Interagency Group as we discuss the upcoming festival in Blairsville, Ga on October 20th, 2007.
