Take Time for Renewal

Some people consider spring the season for renewal. I can understand why, with the robins and cardinals lighting in the yards, and flowers and trees showing their first blooms. But I’ve always thought of autumn as the season for my own renewal. There's something about the first breaths of cooler air and sitting on the porch drinking coffee. The color of the leaves changing to fiery reds, oranges, and yellows fills my soul with joy.
