At times I think I'm ready for autumn; I miss the crunchy colored leaves beneath my feet and the smell of wood burning.  I miss the coolness in the air.  And I miss how youthful I feel during this time of year.  But when I think back on the sailboat scene from yesterday's purse I have to wonder whether I was silently crying out for a few more weeks of summer.  I feel like I didn't enjoy summer to the fullest.  I didn't ride my bike... I didn't kayak...  I didn't swim in Lake Superior....  I didn't even take a walk....

I feel cheated by my own shortcomings.

Sigh...

Perhaps instead of lamenting what I have missed I should make and execute plans to enjoy fall to the best of my ability.
