97 Days

 I love autumn, don’t you? 

I look forward to my families annual trip to the pumpkin patch, the return of Honey Crisp Apples  and sweater weather. 

Who doesn’t love that?

But you know what else I love about fall? 

Fall is when I make one final push to finish my year strong.   I take a good hard look at all of the plans I made in January; see what I’ve accomplished and where I’m falling short, and then I move into action. 

Cause dear ones I don’t want to start 2018 in the same place I started 2017 and I don’t want that for you either.

So, have you looked at your list lately?

What did you want at the beginning of the year?

Do you still want it?

Incidentally, Friday, September 22nd  marked the 265th day of the year.  That means  that today, Monday, September 25th that there are 97 days left in the year.
