Falling Leaves

It’s a fall wonderland of leaves outside. The beautiful ginko trees have turned yellow.

Their delicate leaves have filled the street of a nearby neighborhood. We walked over the other morning and had our annual leaf fight. The air was swirling with them. Our laughter brought out some of the neighbors’ big smiles on their faces.

In that moment I was grateful for so many things. I could feel that gratefulness, bubbling up, pouring over, and running down the sides of my heart.
