October 2020 The beauty of fall

We are officially in the middle of fall and two more months away from 2021 if you can believe that one already !


Where do I even begin is the question I ask myself before I start these monthly posts. I am sitting here at my desk with Music Travel Love Playing in the background while snacking on trail mix , daydreaming of hiking mountains to be honest.And if you never heard of that band before, look it up on youtube, I highly recommend them and I just discovered them. Well I guess I start my sharing I have my ups and down days about whatever the source of my pains and other things but I still have faith things will work out eventually. I just came back from another xray and this time it was sinius. Let me tell you , I never had to stretch my neck in different angles for a few shots. And the lovely tech I had was very much a photographer in his own way , very gentle moving me in the positions and also a romantic experience minuis no meal had. You had to be there to understand how funny that was when I said to the tech and yes I did say, "This almost a romantic date with the meal involved", made us both laugh in the most awkward situation.

Mr. Maverick has gotten bit better since that last time I mentioned him and he eating again but being semi difficult about being picky about what he wants to eat some days. But I will take that improvement and put his weight back on him is a win -win my opinion even if I have stand next to him for thirty minutes to get to finish is meals each time. And to sad to mention that Max has been having seizures lately and there's no cause or a reason why he has been having them besides it's become less frequently and I only hope they would only stop for him. He has been through so much in his life but he's one stubborn just like his brothers in that way. And Mr. Mason is just a puppy handful that just wants attention and someway is just my bodyguard even if I am just in the bathroom! To add on that note, I discovered Mason doesn't like scarecrows while I was putting them out as decorations..He rather eat them and bark at them when the wind moves them outside, I am still laughing at the fact he grabbed one right out my hand a few weeks ago.

I don't know about you all out there, this my favorite time of the season for many reasons besides the one pumpkin spice latte I get every year. It's the smell of the countryside air in the mornings, the changing of the leaves turning gorgeous autumn colors and being allowed to wear cardigans , boots everyday. Usually during this month you could find me in the Eastern Sierra's chasing autumn colors, waterfalls and getting fresh baked goods. And every year that I make a trip out there, each time it still surprises me what I would find among the crisp leaves. To note sometimes I forget to either bring a jacket or gloves on most trips, I get too excited about packing each time. This year that might not happen but don't worry I still have tons of unedited albums from last few years that I started but never finished. So in turn this year you will find me editing those might share a gallery or two from those files. I also enjoy this season because it seems that the world around feels calmer, quieter than previous months like being at peace with the energy around, the wind moves like music in the air. I challenge you everyday to just sit outside with a cup of something warm either in the morning or at dusk and listen to the world. Take it in the world , forget everything else and listen to what's around you, I promise you will feel calmer than anything else for a few moments. Please let me know about your thoughts about that experience. And I want to know what are your favorite things about the autumn season to you.



To what you will find on here this month besides a monthly update post. You will find a new book review for one. And yes, before you shout to the screen ," About time " I have been a bit busy and side track to finished one but good news I already started another! And this month's book review will be posted October 16th, so if you haven't subscribed yet, you should to be notified before it gets posted on my other Socials. And a little insider information, I enjoyed this month's book more than I thought I would, it's definitely a must read! As far has posting a brand new story on here goes.. let me share that my current notebook that was full of stories , has been missing in Action! I think one of the bodyguards either sneaky hide it away or it got accidently thrown away when I was decluttering my office on evening. But before I get another messaging saying, "you haven't posted a story in months" and I know what's why mainly you all come here for. I promise I am working on few just need a dog free moment to finish them. I will share there is one particular piece that has been on my heart and mind for a while now. And if you know me as a writer if I am thinking about a certain concept or idea to the point where you can find sticky notes all over desk and computer that there will be a piece coming sooner than later. Yes, there is sticky notes all over the place currently , so it only a matter of time the story will be written, edited and posted.

I will leave you with this, the next few days, weeks things will be changing , more breaking news will happen worldwide. And then it will be November before we know it to. But I will say try to keep things normal as possible wherever you are in this beautiful. Plan moments to just be you, be free enjoy this time as preciously as possible , no matter what time is precious and time only moves forward not backwards unfortunately unless you have a time machine then you and I need to chat, asap. Remember to take time for yourself, take that little challenge if you want and let me know how it goes. And stay safe, love more and spread kindness when you can because when we share gratitude in this world , gratitude will come back to us in unexpected ways.

That's my catch up of the month , hope you are all doing well.

Love always,

Falling In Love Around the corner Sept 2020



Hi again and another month later in this 2020. Let me get this out of the way "Woah" , What are these days are looking like lately?

Things are either filled with sad news or the restrictions of normal life would be are changing nonstop. Let's take things indifferent direction in this post.

I am currently writing this the day before September actually starts ,at my desk and three pups around my feet. Before I can even begin to write this months post, I gathered my hands together and rest them under my chin with my eyes close, taking a breath in; trying to figure the words to say, to make sentences that make sense, find that connection; that can be related to everyone. But If I make sense to just one person that's enough to.

I just want to uplift you , distract you for a second and make you smile about something mundane. I am here to tell you: You matter , you loved and you are special. I can feel you are , we might not know each other yet, we might know each other for years but that doesn't matter. My point is that we need to tell that to each other more in these days,in the next weeks and in these next months. Take the moment to do so, take that call to someone you haven't heard from in ages, call someone to brighten their day and return that will brighten your day. I rather see those stories, those moments more than what the latest poll chat is or the breaking news. Making smiles, sharing love with family and friends and making the first move to.

So I decided to title this Falling in love around the corner for a reason and yes I realized it's not valentine's day to. But to promote love in this givin time is more important than ever, Time right now is on it's own timeline we can't control what happens in two seconds from now. Love a little harder right now, give faith a try and be open to new possibilities around that came unexpected. Remember people may come and go out of our lives in a season because that's how things go sometimes but losing someone completely unexpectedly forever due to a illness or an accident you can't bring them back. Just let this autumn season be the Season to fall in love, hold on tighter and the season to have faith. Focus on to those who matter to your heart , who are apart of your tribe.

Let's all fall in love with love, life and enjoy the direction of fall weather and cozy nights before winter is upon us. Let's enjoy time with whom we have around a little , enjoy the sunsets lingering a little later and plan on some creative ways to connect then just a zoom call or two. Start a family project at a distance or cooking together just in different kitchens.

Most of all take this time for you as well, relax more;create new projects for you. Open yourself to learning something completely new to you, something you have never done before. Decorate a little more around than what you are used to. You never know what all the new things could lead to during that time of learning and seeing what you are capable of doing with your mind, your hands. Take the leap and see what's around the corner for your journey.

And to end on a different topic it's been year since we lost Samson. You can find us calling Maverick by Samson's name without realizing it. This year we added a little light up paw prints over his grave. To have that reminder that he just outside to chat even at night. I think sometimes the squirrels and the chipmunks that he used to chase up the tree where he is under now. know that the days are getting close to when he passed away. I find one chipmunk always seating on the exact spot on top of the rock some morning. I always think of him remind us , that he is watching over us daily and telling me to get that furry thing off of him. I sometimes thing , Max knows to when the days get closer to. He has been more vocal about staying outside even if it gets up into the nineties and in Samson's favorite spot to! Sam was a good boy and one that can never been forgotten. And I know he will always be there waiting for us each morning and night.

Okay I lied I can't end on that note, I need to end on a nice note even if I got three pups looking at me for cookies. I will be uploading new galleries soon along with a story or two and a book review. It's time to get back in the swing of things on this neck of the woods. And one more other thing , that I haven't shared anywhere yet. I have been entered in a few photo contests around the world and a writing competition. I am bit excited for the writing competition because it's a style of writing I always wanted to do, professionally. And I have been submitting a few stories there more lately then on here. But I promise to add a few and keep you guys up to date as well.

Any way my friends, I got to get my day going and keep these pups happy before they take me down over a few treats in my pocket. Remember to fall back in Life , Love and in yourself. You never know what's around the corner in life or the opportunities life has for us. Things are still in the unknown in life but we have each other to get through this year and we will be ready to start all over again soon.

Love always,

Misread.

 

August the closing of summer 2020

I started to write this months post at another doctor appointment in the waiting room for the hundredth time this year and honestly I lost count on the number of times I have been waiting rooms this year alone. But I didn't want to start like that for this month and to share that but hey it's life.

We are officially near the ending of the year and August is here, shortly the fall season will come and go before we know it, christmas will be. But I hope these next few months till the new year are full of blessings for all us. Even tho this the closing of our summer days of 2020 are ending. I hope they Slow down, full of memories and fun regardless if we have wear a mask wherever we go. Let's take these days to be the ones soaked up by happiness and supporting each other even if the act is simply asking, " How are you doing?". Do more facetimes, Do more voice texts and be there because the seasons are changing, restrictions change, life routines can change all over again.


Go watch the lingering sunsets each evening, grab your favorite drink and watch the beauty of God and the universe has created for us to enjoy. In times like these we should appreciate them more than we did previously. I find myself racing each evening to finish everything I have on my plate of lists to watch the color show even if that's a few seconds before it's dusk. I find myself back under the stars like I used to such a long time go right before bedtime. Better than any show I can find on any device right now. I can even tell you last night when the world around was asleep, light's off across the valley that I looked up to those same stars that lingering each night for about thirty minutes doing absolutely nothing besides being. I found myself at peace, reaching my hands up the stars like I did like a child once upon a time ago and attempt to catch one in my palm if I could. There were so many in the sky last night that it took my breath away and it felt like dream, no sounds of anything besides the light midnight breeze moving a chime. So if you haven't done that in a while I think you should just to unwind from the world right now, the best medicine I could find. And honestly I think the stars are the absolutely gorgeous thing about life and no matter where you are in the world, they are always there with you the darkness they are share their light when we can't see seem to share ours on some days.

With that all being said I have being feeling Creative like a burst of energy came into my soul and I think it's time to share a few written pieces that I have tucked the back of things left unfinished to share with the world. I feel alive again like the wind changing directions, seasons changing in a blink of an eye. I feel like me almost to a thousand percent. I find myself drifting the world of writing in my head, faster than any pen on paper or typing on any keyboard. If I am watering the herbs, taking care the zoo or doing work I find myself dabbing little sticky notes and hiding them away in a notebook. Just saying that made me a smile a little , typing all this and hoping this makes sense to at least someone out there.

I found myself grabbing for my camera again which I haven't done either in months, I am getting inspired more when I see something that caught my eye. To the point I have ran through my house to grab my camera before I missed the opportunity when I only have seconds left. Just imagine three german shepherds very concerned for me that they are on my heels because I am just flying through doors like nothing. I can promise you when I can run back outside with a camera or two that we all forget the breaks going down the deck steps. At least I can say I got my cardio in each time that happened. And I missed that part getting excited and laughing over a moment like that when I know it doesn't make sense unless you are there witness the same thing. When was the last time you went chasing something that made you inspired that you need to capture it ?

I guess my point of this snippet of a monthly post is that enjoy moments of life right now, stop and watch what's exactly in front of you. And what has inspired you recently that made you feel giggy , that made you smile so much that your face hurt? Put down your phone more often, turn off the tv, the computer and watch the beauty around us that we often miss when we are busy with life. Just being is more important, press pause go in solitude in nature. Before we know it , rain will come around, the colder temperatures will come upon us and the snow will be covering the world around us. And remember your safety is important, wear the mask when you should and check on your loved ones. Just don't forget to just be in this timeframe and what beauty lies around us.


In closing I just want to leave you with this: You are loved, you are worthy of everything and someone is always in your corner to catch you if you were fall. And Being is Okay to be right now, you don't have do anything else besides that .

Anyways,

Love Misread.💕

P.s I will try to be on time for the next monthly post and keep a lookout for anything new to pop up shortly.
