I showed this photo I took to my sister.  She said, “Not all leaves are meant to fall.” 

I really thought about her words.

Conditions in our lives often try to challenge our ability to hold on.  And yet, when the cold and dark set in:

We hold on to values.
We hold on to people.
We hold on to memories.
We hold on to hope.
We hold on to dreams.

And yes, sometime we hold on to things we should not.  And determining what to let go of can be hard.

So we take a moment in time each day to take inventory, to reflect, and to
face tomorrow with strength.
