Muted Foliage

This year's fashions come in bright, bold colors. This year's foliage is muted around here. Rare is the sight of the brilliant red/orange sugar maple. The predominant colors are yellows and greens accented with a few dusty reds.

We are disappointed.

Disappointed is another word for stress. We wanted one thing--brilliant foliage; we experience something else--hillsides of yellow and green.
We want one thing, life unfolds as it is.

Wouldn't it be so much easier and so much less stress to simply accept things as they are?

Let's bask in the beauty of what is.
Green & gold.
Ahhh.
