It's another beautiful September morning in Missouri, and I stepped outside to enjoy it for a few minutes. While some of the trees are beginning to drop their leaves, most are still green. The Missouri Department of Conservation is predicting a colorful fall, so pretty soon we'll be seeing lots of red and gold.
So I walked down High Street in downtown Jefferson City and noticed a little girl and her mom heading in the other direction. The little girl was scooping up some of the leaves that have already fallen and was running after her mother and tossing them. They were both laughing, and the mom kept saying, "I'm going to get you." It was cute and it made me smile to watch them.
They reminded me that beauty is all around us (don't I sound like a greeting card?) and we should take time to appreciate what is right in front of us. So take time to play today. Look around and you'll be surprised at what brings you joy. You'll be glad you did.
