That's right it's summer for you! I am counting on you to share the warmth as we enter the cold of winter. You are so right about the craziness of the year. Here too the children are off school for winter holiday, which adds to that never ending to do list! Thankfully we can pop in on one another and take those small breaks remembering to carve out calm among the frenzy.

I am overwhelmed with your kind words! Thank you from the bottom of this grateful heart for the way you've touched me this morning. I will carry the glow with me today (and longer) - it will make my day so very special. It sounds like you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving... it must be such a lovely holiday. To simply eat, be merry and give thanks. Mmm. This resounded with me "There is a sense of space and calm as I let the thoughts tumble from my head to the page." It reminds me again that it is those times when we are so busy, or full of emotion, that we think we haven't time to let the thoughts out - that is the very time we must! (Big note to self right now in the craziness of December and a house full of kids on summer holidays!) Karen, I only just found this – sorry.

Moving to Michigan has really given me such a different perspective on seasons. In California I did not experience the natural changes that occur with the seasons. Living here, I was surprised at the primal response, the whimsy the summer brings, the reflection of fall, the hunkering down of Winter and the rebirth of Spring, It's pretty amazing.

I love this time of year too and know that times are tough for many but that makes it extra special to have people you love in your life. Whether you share pea-cahn pie or tofurkey, love and gratitude is what makes it super special. Well, okay the pie really does make it extra special! :-) Meryl, I thought of you on Thanksgiving because year round you exhibit a joyful and grateful heart.

We go go go all Summer to take advantage of the nice weather (well, at least here in Canada). Fall and Winter are more about slowing down and taking stock. A time to let old ideas die, and new ideas start to germinate. .-= Eliza´s last blog ..<a href="http://makewayforbiz.com/2009/11/29/the-misadventures-of-mike-mapping-out-business-processes/" rel="nofollow">The (Mis)Adventures of Mike: Mapping out business processes</a> =-.
