Lately been looking for autumn songs, not just autumn in the title but also in the atmosphere or lyrics with that melancholic tune or melody, so characteristic for this nice season with truffles, game and dark red wine not to say dark chocolate as well. Here are a few: The classical Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole “Autumn Leaves” is a much-recorded popular song. Originally it was a 1945 French song “Les feuilles mortes” (literally “The Dead Leaves”) with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert. Yves Montand (with Irène Joachim) introduced “Les feuilles mortes” in 1946 in the film Les Portes de la Nuit. The film Autumn Leaves (1956) starring Joan Crawford featured the s...

By the ancient Chinese way of thinking, Autumn is the Metal season, the season of Dryness, the season when that which lives withers, fades, falls, and disappears from sight. The green trees briefly are arrayed in the splendor of gold and red, the cool crisp winds causing the leaves to rustle like the robes of the Heavenly Emperor as He passes by. Yang is retreating, its presence in the world decreasing, the liveliness of the Ten Thousand Things changing to a final gathering and preparation for the Winter. The long sleep comes, when (as the Greeks saw it) Persephone will reside in the Underworld and Demeter in her grief will turn her face from the Earth, leaving all that lives buried in frost and snow to survive as best it can. Autumn is the season ...

I could point out to you where we were, then, on the analemma that you used to see on old maps and globes, but which they don’t include any longer. But I am quite reluctant this year to see the summer end, and so put the change of seasons out of mind until this weekend when the temperature dropped and seemed likely to stay down for the next four months or so. Yes, this happens every year. I should be used to it by now. Take deep breaths, etc. But the cold has officially set in now, as well as the cloud cover which should last us well into February. Gonna write my way through it. At least the winter solstice is not too terribly far away. Consolation through blogging. That’s the trick.

I start to mourn the ending of summer when I hear the cicadas grow louder the last two weeks of August and when I feel the crispness in the air at that time, which brings less sunlight and longer nights. Then the back-to-school craze: buying shoes, supplies, backpacks, etc. and trying to catch up on the homework we didn’t do during June and July. By the time I make it to the parent-teacher conferences in early September, when I hear about all the things I’m supposed to be doing with the kids, I’m well into panic mode. The other day, my therapist and I talked about a few coping exercises to keep my anxiety from disabling me this time of year. 1. Pick a sound or object to be your Xanax. My therapist looks up t...

Whether it’s carefree relaxation or crisp Riesling you crave – or both – you’ll fall hard this autumn for Ontario’s spa getaways and wine trails. As part of Ontario’s fertile wine country, picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake boasts two dozen organic and small craft wineries, all of which host tours, tastings, festivals, and special food events – and fall is the perfect time to take advantage of everything this naturally beautiful, historic town has to offer visitors. After feeding your body during an afternoon of tasting grapes, what better way to wind down than by feeding your soul – and indulging in pampering spa treatments.

Endangered: That Off-to-College Feeling. There’s a chill in the air, and I’m reminded of an experience I never really had. Like nearly every woman my age, I saw the 1970 film “Love Story,” set in a place that, compared to my blue-collar suburb in Dallas, looked magical. Houses had two stories, a street ends at an ocean, leaves turned crimson, and snow covered everything. Plus, you could fall in love with a handsome man with a Roman numeral name. Oliver Barrett IV was Old Money. In my neighborhood, there was no Old Money. Or New Money either, for that matter. The 1969 movie “The Sterile Cuckoo,” filmed at Hamilton College in New York, was all green meadows and red bricks, old villages and leafy bus stops. For so...

The change of seasons, that “back-to-school” feeling (even if you’re not in school), and that I’ve-been-lazy-all-summer-not-it’s-time-to-kick-into-gear type of inspiration makes me especially motivated this time of year. Plus, there’s nothing like being hung over and snowed in to make me NOT want to start training for a marathon or ride my bike to work. So in the spirit of what I think should be the official season of resolutions, here are a few WPA posters to help remind us of all the things you we want to do this fall: ...

Perhaps because it is a cooler, more relaxed version of Spring? I mean, Spring is a busy time with its longer days, shoots of green and blooms of bright color! As a contrast, Autumn definitely has its watercolor sunsets and hues of yellows and reds … But the days a soothingly shorter, planting chores are replaced with harvest and clearing. This ease typically serves to sooth and inspire me toward new horizons … “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal”  (Philippians 3:12-14) … Dancing on down the proverbial Yellow-Brick Road. Um, but in real-time — not in am imaginary place where I am in search for what is already mine. I rejoice to be in a season in which the... The Dessert Years . . .

I hope my dear readers will forgive me a quite personal post – I’ll try to throw some teaching in there somewhere. :) The hexagram I threw is number 23, Bo 剝 - often translated as “Stripping” is my teacher for late summer and early autumn of 2009.

September has befallen us and per our norm, I’m using the first Wednesday of the month to open the blog to you by asking the question: “How is your MS today?” The events of life that I wrote in that first line can cause added stress to a schedule, a life…a disease.  Some people I know find that autumn is either a good or particularly bad time for their multiple sclerosis; how is it for you?

Mum, my mother-in-law, wanted to find some apples and a pumpkin to decorate her bedroom suite at the assisted living home where she resided because she was losing her eyesight and found it difficult to live alone.  A friend had told her about a farmer’s market where they had many autumn goodies.

I started over a couple months later, actually I cannot remember how much time lapsed.When I had my first major racing mind storm from hell, it was October. I hadn't slept in a week or something, and the sound and fury in my mind was unbearable, and I actually couldn't believe it when it happened to me.I seriously had a calm before a storm. I had racing images, thoughts, and noise, and it was to happen again 2 months later. The 75mg. of Seroquel in October helped stop that racing mind, but it also shut down my spirit.
