1st September

Dear Blog,

It's the 1st of September and there is already a wimsy of Autumn in the early morning despite the Indian Summer we seem to be experiencing.

My mention of my "Ascension Symptoms" on Facebook has generated a fair amount of response from "fellow sufferers" and I wonder what I can do to help us all? Maybe some words of wisdom from on high are called for, I'll see tomorrow if time presents itself for me to ask!

Today Andrew and I took my Mum and Dad to Haverthwaite steam train and then onto Lakeside and the Aquarium! Quite a mixture but still the day for me had an over riding theme of beauty, the Summer sunlight on the tree's as the steam train pulled away, the magical steam collecting like clouds at the tops of the sooty tunnels as the train passed through, the incredible fish swimming around and over us in the Aquariums tunnel and my Ma and Pa, like wise old children discovering the world for the first time, beautiful. Strange how, as they have aged - they are now in their late 80's, they seem to be returning to child like states whilst retaining their memories and wisdom!

September the 1st feels like a bold new adventure and despite all the many things left over from August which I really should have done but didn't and all the things that lay before me pigeon holed into my calendar I feel oddly optimistic and excited! What wonders might this month bring?

Whatever they might be I will try to embrace them with humour and grace, yes humour and grace ... this will be my mantra for the month!
