For moments of stillness and quiet, free from distraction and chaos and noise.

For time with just my daughter — time to laugh and share and teach and be together.

For leaves turning from greeny-yellow into yellowy-orange into orangey-red.

Crisp mornings and hot coffee.

For gentle reminders from God to stay on the narrow path that is broad and wide with true freedom.

For friends with strong shoulders and open ears.

For time with family to build forever memories.

Boots and scarves and dark nail polish.

For a word in due season.

For strength for today.

For a hope and a future.

October.
