Plans, Fall, and Separation

Having a little bit better today, so I thought I would just wipe off yesterday from the books! Don't you wish you could do that? Decide that something or someone just did not fit into your day, so you just wipe it/them out! Oh my gosh...what a wonderful life I would have! I guess you need a bit of bad in your life so you know when you have the good! You need a bit of sorrow so you can have joy. You need a bit of sadness so you can have happiness. A little yin with your yang!

I like to plan things. Not necessary down on paper to a "T", but I certainly like to know what I am doing, with who I am doing it with, for how long I will be doing it. Sometimes I plan things a few hours before, sometimes a few weeks, perhaps even a few months ahead of time. I know that sometimes different things will come up to spoil my plans. I hate it when that happens. Especially if it was something was looking forward to! I know...I am an adult. I understand that things get in the way, things happen. I get it. I still don't like it.

Fall has finally hit Nor Cal. I claim to not have a favorite anything. I hate when people ask my favorite color or book or song or whatever. I just really don't have favorites (excluding my favorite husband, favorite son, and favorite daughter!!). I never have. I remember as a kid people would also say that this was their favorite color or that was their favorite time of day...whatever. I just don't have favorites. I am not sure why...I think maybe because I cannot hurt all of the others! Having said that... Fall is my favorite time of year!!! LOL (until winter...then there is fabulous spring...then, wonderful hot summer... see?!?!). Right now, however, it is definitely fall. The leaves on my backyard trees are starting to turn, not fall yet, but just turning colors. What a beautiful sight to look out and see reds and yellows and different shades of green. I like the way the sun feels as it falls onto my face from a different angle from the window as I work. I like how it is just getting a little chilly in the mornings so I need my sockies and how there is a little chill in the air as I go to bed so I can turn on my electric blanket past low! I like to wrap my blanket around me and get all tucked in. I like how you can still wear pretty sandals with jeans. Pull out the long sleeved shirts and the big, wooly sweaters. Yes...I like fall. I like the change.

My last thought of the day is separation...

"The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation." ~ John Berger

I hate being separated from those I love. I just want to be able to reach out and touch you. To put my hand upon yours. To smile as I look at you. To look in your eyes. To wrap my arms around you. To tell you I love you. To be together. I hate separation. In a perfect world, we would never be separated again. I would like to think that my perfect world is just ahead, just around the bend; where separation ceases to exist. Walt Disney said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." I dream it.
