Reflection Monday October 2024

October Along the New Haven River
Lincoln, Vermont

 How often do you settle
instead of staying on course
with your first choice?

We decide much of what shapes our lives.
How much is from fate, outside forces,
adds to our view of self.

When you are at relaxing in the moment,
thinking of this and that, chilling out,
ask yourself what you are chilling about.

Are you the river or the landscape?

  1. Well I can be both at times, so it depends on the situation. Janice

  2. That's a similar question to being the pond or the fish! Worth thinking about.

  5. Gorgeous image of autumn glory! There's time for both river and landscape in life, I think. Settled, but adaptable.

      Settled but adaptable is also a good position to be in.

  6. I am relaxing at the moment, as I just came home from grocery shopping. Not my favorite thing to do,
    but it's over for the week, and I'm grateful for food. This is such a lovely Autumn picture.

    1. Sheri,
      Grocery shopping has been less and less fun for me as well.
      I've had it with food going bad because it got hidden on a fridge shelf.
