This Is The Time of Year

This is the time of year that I wish I lived in the country, and had an indoor woodburning fireplace.

As the atmospheric temperature turns cooler, I wish for a the fireplace.  And, this is the time of year when on a very sunny day, it is possible to sit outside, enjoy the sunshine, not be too cold, and not have to deal with mosquitoes or dust.

Oh, well, I can take the risk to buy such a place, not knowing what my financial future might be, but I am not that kind of a risk taker.

I like my neighborhood.  If I could still walk long distances (a mile), I could walk to Kmart, Home Depot, Office Depot, the Dollar Tree, the post office, the grocery store, a couple of automotive repair places, a park, and several restaurants. 

I like the idea of living in a multi-racial neighborhood, in some respects.  In other respects, I am not as comfortable to sit outside in the dark. But, I do enjoy sitting outside during the day.

I am blessed.  I hope others realize their blessings.  November is a month when we reflect on blessings:  We honor veterans on Veteran's Day. We celebrate Thanksgiving.

We are moving into the Christmas season.  This is a time when people do develop an attitude of good will, and share their good will.

I like this time of year.
