Fall into a moment.....

Even the very first day that the temperature gets to that, cool enough to be fall, my thoughts turn to soup, the smell of burning leaves and the first snow fall that turns my little part of the world into a life size snow globe. I can't help myself. Those feelings all come so quickly that they seem to be in my head all at once. Of course those thoughts bring memories of snow sledding, cold hands and feet and coming into the house when I was young to smell the food that my mother was preparing for supper. It's funny how thoughts of the cold mixed with my thoughts of the warmth of my childhood make me feel warmer no matter how cold this old body feels at the moment and it doesn't cost me anything except the time to think it.
