I just don't want to live in a city anymore. At least not full time anyway. Today I got in the car and headed up north to my mom and dad's place in South River (about 3 hours north of Toronto for them what aren't from around these parts). The further I got from Hamilton, the better I felt. And now it's real good.
It's turning out to be a red fall. Few leaves turning until around Orillia. The air is very cool with hints of winter. A roaring fire is a wonderful luxury and the lake view from outside my bedroom window is peaceful and healing and calming.
Part of me is tempted to stay here for the winter and see what the springtime brings. The east coast still beckons, though. And if I can get out there before the snow starts to fly and the geese are all gone I might still do it.
Back in southern Ontario again sometime either Sunday or Monday. In the meantime, I am really glad to be here.
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Cyndy (my sister). And Happy Michaelmas Day (the feast Day of St. Michael, Guardian Overlord of the Angelic Hosts (or, in layperson's terms -- Head Angel.)
He is often invoked to intercede against The Powers of Evil, Temptation, Storms at Sea and any times when fear and negativity are present. And because it is fall and the light is diminishing, this is the time when the light of Archangel Michael is often called upon.
He is also the patron saint of hatmakers and there is a lovely daisy (the Michaelmas Daisy) named after him. I would imagine that a hat with Michaelmas daisies on it would be a good thing indeed (I bought 10 hats this summer .. maybe this needs to be my 11th)
Thought you would all like to know in case you're feeling a bit fearful and need some more light in your life.
