In the weather forecast for the Burlington Vermont area, there is a Frost Advisory issued. Frost. 😱
Today* there is a bright blue sky with some fluffy clouds out my window.
The debut of my YouTube channel moves into October.

Instead of time thinking it can’t get worse, giving ourselves things we can look forward to might help soften the impact of the next bizarre news. How we fill our background thoughts can be a comfy quilt on a chilly day.
I read a recent headline that time goes by faster as we age. Old news. Time perception changes like a lot of other things as we get older.
In my mind, the visual I have of age years hasn’t changed much since it began to develop in my pre-school years. By about 8 years, my internal visual timeline of aging was done. When I look at it in my imagination, there is a topographical flow, ups, downs, slopes that I have to move along to see, (in light of my having lived through those years).
Nearing 80 years is the most terrifying to me. I have no references to access because my timeline hadn’t entertained my being that old.
I don’t feel old. If I didn’t have a mirror, I’d have little understanding how old I am. I go past a mirror with the reaction…Oh! That is you!
This September has been a steep incline for grasping summer is over. The pumpkins help me transition to autumn. The Vermont foliage report map showing peak colors are in the north already is a shock. The next two weeks will be go out and about sooner than later because leaves will not wait to drop for anyone. I see a sidewalk tour this week to document colors’ progress.

The horrors being done to America as reported in the news can’t be ignored. Fascism builds.
Speaking up against wrongs can be a risky thing to do. My recent dip into the Instagram waters has been interesting in helping me think about being on YouTube.
The debut of my YouTube channel next week is in a hold because I am not sure I can handle the criticism going public exposes me to. I need time to think, process, and decide if my mental health can handle posting videos.
Have a wonderful weekend

Wordle in 3 for two (2) days** in a row makes me smile 😄. Yet, life, creating, blogging are all going slowish but not slower. 🥴
