We are fortunate in New England to have 4 seasons, however, one will hear, "It's cold, and before you know it, the snow will be on the ground! "  Wake up !!! If people will only STOP and observe how BEAUTIFUL the trees look, ONE DAY AT A TIME....it's a great time for fresh brisk walks, hot cocoa, fine wine & dining, paint or take photographs of landscapes,  go to a football game,  go antiquing, go horseback riding, look for seasonal things to do or go to (even for free) picnic....one can find by Google searching,...a State's Chamber of Commerce.....you may even find how to plan a wonderful winter vacation....all I'm saying people is to be open-minded to the changing seasons and welcome them with creative minds.....and you will enjoy small victories along the way !!!  We have several weeks of Autumn before the snow flies.....find something this season, that you will remember, how much fun you had this Fall. Happy Leaf Peeping !!!

Ho Ho Ho Everyone !!  Had a great start to this winter....some new poetry added....Excited about the new exhibit coming this January 24th called "Flora in Winter"...floral arrangements will be strategically added to the artworks throughout the museum.....which, by the way, our own Worcester Art Museum has produced a Hollywood film ....'The Lonely Maiden"....it's about 3 gallery attendants who fall in love with paintings that are being exported to another museum, they become 'thief-like"and plan a heist to get them for themselves.....Christopher Walken, Bill Masse, and Morgan Freidman play the attendants......guess who else is in the picture ???? Watch for the movie to air this October, 2008........Ciao,  Bob

This Fall.....plan to self-enhance your knowledge.....I am taking a 3rd semester of Tai Chi classes.....if you are upset  or disgruntled about your job or family situation, divert your energies to something F-U-N for yourself.....you won't believe the satisfaction you will get , PLUS, not to mention,  make your difficult situation seem more tolerable...if that's the case....STOP BLAMING THE SITUATION>>> it was your own very self that needed a lift !!!!! Trust ME....this diversion thing really works, until you can better deal with your difficulties at home or work.......CELEBRATE THIS AUTUMN !!!  It lasts for 10 weeks, plenty of time to have fun before the snow flies !!!

I have a birthday coming tomorrow....I've taken time to take stock in my life, as I do every birthday....and still find life interesting....Time to give thanks to the Big Guy upstairs....Check out my newest poetry in Poets' Corner...Do you know there are more than 16 weeks of Autumn before the snow flies???? Plenty of time to enjoy the cooler weather !!! Do something different this Fall...read books, take a painting course, learn to sail, go mountain hiking & picnic somewhere, take an airplane ride, be adventurous....it's good for the soul and not to mention, the economy... Life is what you make of it !!!! Enjoy
