time flies

wow. I know that I don't check the blog that often, seems like I don't have a lot of info to put out there. I could be on here everyday with a complaint or two, but who likes a complainer. It is good to vent, but if you do that often enough - to the person on the receiving end it becomes the same thing.
Well, last blog I was excited about spring and looking forward to summer and renewal. Well , we had a summer with great weather. It was too short, the days went by too fast and here we are, with fall coming and leaves already starting to turn color and harvest under way.
We have had a few friends and acquaintances over the past year who have been struggling with illness. Some are still going through it, others haven't made it, so when one keeps getting dismal news reports about the persons around them any thing positive is great. It could just be a certain age that you reach when all this starts to come to the fore front of your life.
What are the positive things in your life? Mine would be my pets/dogs. They are always so happy to see you and be with you and the simple things in life, like a walk makes them happy.
