There really is nothing as magic and glorious in nature as deciduous autumn trees...and the lower-to-the-ground foliage that usually goes along with them. And you're so right about the peace, the healing power of God being found in that setting, at this time of year. <br /><br />My anxiety was threatening to overwhelm me late last week and I knew I had to do something different and "drastic" to overcome it. I headed, alone, to a huge nearby park with spectacular hiking trails through the woods. I've always been fearful of walking in the woods alone, but apparently on Saturday my fear of being overwhelmed by anxiety was greater than my fear of meeting an attacker in the woods :-/ because I took off on a trail alone. I was nervous at first, but words can't express the sense of peace and absence of fear that soon pervaded my spirit as I wandered through the golden woods alone. I was on the trail for nearly 90 minutes, and I was a completely different person when I came out at the end of the loop. <br /><br />This little story was just my lengthy way of agreeing with your sentiments about autumn and God's glory in it. Praising Him for this annual gift!Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-21295979049429870732014-10-21T22:12:47.683-04:002014-10-21T22:12:47.683-04:00Your words resonate with me.

There is something about the light the angle of the sun creates this time of year that seems to make everything glow! We in the PNW, really appreciate it because we usually have so many rainy days this season. So glad you were able to go out for a walk and enjoy it! I haven't done that yet. I tweaked a few areas in my house for Fall only yesterday! Been busy cleaning out the garden. Really appreciated yesterday's pantry post, too! Lots of good suggestions!<br />Hugs and Blessings,<br />Laura C. from WAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-66554230928886183122014-10-19T17:08:15.627-04:002014-10-19T17:08:15.627-04:00Sounds like you had a lovely walk.

I almost felt as though I'd taken the walk myself...<br /><br />Counting the weeks until I can put my "new" knee to the trail. Meanwhile, I need to take some fresh initiative to do some intentional Art Appreciation. (I have been adoring the autumn colors as I ride passenger-side to visit my parents 3-4 times a week, but long to breathe in the air and sit in the sun, etc.)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.com
