I Try To Keep

I walked along the old railroad tracks Surrounded by yellow hues all around Birds chattered happily in the bushes Lifting my spirit with their sound The birch trees shined, even with gray sky As I wondered where you are My thoughts adrift a morning breeze That came to me, from oh so far Autumn is moving quickly now Making way for winter’s return I’m bracing for the cold to arrive While trying to keep, each lesson I learn Heidi Sands 10/12/19

Winter I am sure is quickly approaching in your area my friend. keep thinking positive things and maybe it won't feel so cold when it does arrive. :)

Yes, it is starting to get colder and raw outside. Yesterday was a bit warmer. Today may be, when the sun gets shining more. I hope I can keep thinking those positive thoughts to battle the bitter cold on the way. Thank you. Have a great day Chris :)
