Fall Goals

On the first Saturday in October 2018 I contemplate my autumn goals, review my "My Goals for October" , and check my calendar for upcoming Holy Days and appointments. There is one Nineteen-Day Feast in October. In November there are four Holy Days and two Nineteen-day Feast. I don't have any doctors' appointments yet, because I'm waiting for my kidney doctor to call for that appointment. I also need to call my regular doctor to make an appointment with her sometime around October 25. It's usually easy to get an appointment with my GP, I can make the appointment three days from the date I called. I have to have at least a three day after I call because I have to arrange for transportation.

Beautiful Autumn
is a time of celebration,
commemoration, and proclamation.

October 4-10 is Word Space Week. This year's theme is "Space Unites the World". Let World Space Week inspire your blog entry.

Space Unites the World

I intone a prayer for unity,
and contemplate the beauty of humanity--
a single species
upon the planet Earth.

I meditate on the speed of light,
on the miles between the planets,
on the parsecs between the stars,
and give thanks for the beauty
of the cosmos.
