Decorating With Things I Love

The last days of September are upon us.

I don't know about you but I am always a little sad

To see September end.

I think it is a beautiful month.

There are only 30 days to enjoy the blue sky, the vibrant colors

And the settling of the Fall season.

I begin to to turn my thoughts and my reflections to the indoors.

I Enjoy the pleasures of  my peaceful home, and hearth.

Though there is no "hearth" within my home, I believe the warmth

Comes from the pleasantries and sturdiness of Home.

This little sewing drawer belonged to my Grandma Dot

It reminds me of her. . It reminds me of my home life with her.

She was a gentle soul.  She was the steady force in my young life.

Isn't it amazing how something so small and seemingly insignificant, 

Such as a sewing drawer, can evoke such strong emotional memories

Just like September Grandma Dot's season with me was short.

Ah, but her gentle soul and loving spirit 

Continues to be a steady force for me.

I decorate with "things" that are special to me. . they

Bring me memories and pleasure.

Some folks think they are worthless clutter. . .Bah!

For me they decorate my home with love and happiness

Memories and stories.

So. . as the month of September comes to its close.

I will begin decorating for the coming the months.

And I will decorate with things that I have had for a long time.

So. . .do you decorate with thing that you cherish and brings back

Memories of a special person or time?

Hugs to all
