September days

As I type the air is fresh and full of the after the rain quietness.

Last night we got our first real rain complete with lightenings. 

What a spectacle!

In the past couple of weeks I have been spending two afternoons per week 

 in our son's soccer practice. 

It is a cluster of peace and relaxation.

Watching him play

seeing him happy with his pals

hmm

nothing like a soccer game for boys!

I seat next to my husband and read my book. 

The header above reads:

Beginning of the Autumn

There are other parents, too, mostly dads, and they watch eagerly. 

Or they talk about their jobs and the new taxes that the vultures in power are throwing over our heads.

But I am shutting out their voices 

and for those little moments 

I'm a child again

watching football

and reading a story book on happiness.

Life stands still

and though Fall is here

I focus on 

life

and it is painted pink and green

focusing on the good stuff

I hope your life comes in the most beautiful colours.
