Quotes for the moment:
💜Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. F. Scott Fitzgerald, American novelist, 20th century
🍁Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of Nature. Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosopher, 19th century
🍂Autumn is the season to find contentment at home by paying attention to what we already have. Unknown
💜If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher, 500 BCE
As humans, we have the responsibility to care for our planet, ourselves, and each other—all of us, no matter who you are. Let’s work together now for a better future. Unknown
As always, feel free to forward this to anyone who may appreciate it. Today, and always, I send blessings of love and laughter to all!! May you all stay safe, healthy and well!
Mahalo,
Annette 😇
