How do you sweeten your life?
Chocolate?
Long walks on the beach?
Time spent with friends?
Fragrant flowers?
It's a good day for some sweetness!

"Oh, we are coming down faster than I thought!"
"At least it looks like it'll be a soft landing…"
"Hold onto your hats, kids!"
Those funny fall migrating birds coming in for a landing, St. Augustine.

The world seems to be trying to turn me into a morning person.
All I can say is,
"Not yet, not yet, not yet."
Sunrise, and birds on the wire, (didn't make it to the inlet in time!) St. Augustine.

After weeks of extreme heat and still air,
this Nor'easter stirs the soul and the senses,
and makes you believe in autumn again.
Low light and long shutter speeds
catch the movement of the waves under the spell of the wild wind.
And yes, it rained and rained and rained.
Villano Beach, St. Augustine, just after sunset.

This must be the month of the Dentist.
Everytime I tell someone that I had to go to the dentist,
they say,
oh, I went today too,
or I went 2 days ago,
or
oh yeah, I have to do that soon.
Imagine what a visit to the dentist was like a hundred years ago!
OUCH!
(Shoot me first!)
Today we have super sonic drills,
and lasers and e-xray cameras,
that do the job of 10 dentists.
Something to be grateful for,
for sure!
One of St. Augustine's many attractions, with old stores and Dentists!

Life is a big empty bucket. That is not a bad thing. It just means there is always space to add more, to gather in what the world has to offer.
That doesn't mean driving to another lake everyday to see if there is some water. It may just mean putting the bucket out to let it fill with sweet rain.
An empty bucket can be a drum or a silly hat or the place for your most precious treasure. That is the beauty of your empty bucket, it is yours and yours alone. We all have one but not all of us have learned to understand that empty is just a place for full to come and live.
