Fall reminds me of continuous change in all our lives. Looking back at family pictures does the same thing. This picture was taken last summer and already the children look older. I love the colors of fall. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of the colors this year. But even with all the changing, I know fall will happen again next year. Who knows what the future will be like? New president, new opportunities. My candidate wasn't elected, but I can make sure he knows my opinions. I can teach my children values and the values of virtue. I love living in a country where individuals can voice their opinions and make something of themselves with hard work and a lot of heart. Allen and I stood on these same steps 16 years ago, all by ourselves. Some really great changes have happened in my life and I'm glad I wasn't so hooked on the way things had been that I wasn't willing to embrace the good changes that have come into my life. 6 really great changes, especially.
