This morning…with only a little consideration…and the mere flip of a switch…I 
heated my entire home…for that…I am grateful…
I am grateful because I have the option to do that…so why…when the house was a brisk 64 degrees…did it take some consideration…honestly…because I’m stubborn…there I said it…not that the fact surprised anyone…least of all me…but…I think that is the crux of the matter…somehow…I think if I don’t turn on the heat in the fall…it won’t become winter…
I know…that makes about as much sense as trying to plug a hole in the dike with bubble gum…but…I think that is the reason that I’m so hesitant…well…that…and…the fact that I really enjoy those lower utility bills that…no heat…no air…bring…
Bertha…reminds me that it’s part of letting go…not holding on to the season…knowing that the new season will bring new things…different…but…special in their own right…
I think she’s right…I think it’s time to let go of one more summer…of what was…and embrace what is becoming…

Bertha is a wise woman. Remember the old, embrace the new. I feel the same way about winter, though. I feel your pain!
That she is Peggy…but maybe we should listen to her from the warmth of a tropical island…that would still work wouldn’t it?!
