It's harvest time and I really enjoy this time of year.

I love the weather and how it's cooling down.

On the farm it's the time to see the "fruits of your labor".

Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Everything is extremely busy before it slows down.

I'm looking forward to it slowing down and spending some much needed quality time with my boys.  I also have two great friends, Lindsey and Jeannie, who I'm glad will get to do the same.

Harvest is kind of a scary time too.  There are so many accidents every year and this year has proven to be the same.  Already there has been countless wrecks involving semis and ten-wheelers.  For some reason there has just flat out been a lot of deaths and bad stuff happening recently.  It always makes you worry and wonder what could happen. 

I'm the kind of person that worries endlessly about that kind of stuff.

Waste of time, I know.

You can't spend your life worried,

it won't do you any good.

Although I have a hard time reminding and getting myself to quit thinking that way, it also makes me think of how precious TIME is.  I hope to hell I have a lot more time and also that my family and friends have a lot more time.  Overall, I will tell you one thing....I am so very THANKFUL for the TIME I am getting TODAY.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart
