Calm Before the Storm

The months of October & November are a busy time for my family. Most of our birthdays and anniversaries are during these 2 months. We also have been blessed with 3 Grandchildren born during these months as well - the newest just 2 weeks ago! In order to maintain sanity, we will need to figure out a new normal to celebrate all these occasions as well as the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I am thinking we will need to simplify and keep in mind it’s the getting together that is important, not so much the elaborate parties that counts! This shot was taken early one morning on my walk down by the river. It will remind me to keep life simple, appreciate the people, not things, and if the *** hits the @@@, always remember the sun will come up tomorrow to start a new day!
