Mayberry Moments

The news is so depressing these days that I have decided that we all need a break from the disease, war, terror and murders. So … here are some Mayberry Moments ~ a chance for us to take a breath and step into a peaceful world where problems are overcome by a chat on the porch and a slice of pie.

Each season brings a flood of happy memories, but for some reason, fall seems to bring back the most for me. Happy days at school. Warm and cozy sweaters. If I hear a certain song on the radio I am suddenly in my dorm room back in college. Happy, fuzzy memories.

Time seems to speed up during this season. So much to do. So much to look forward to. We have to remind ourselves to slow down and take it all in.

I am so thankful for everything I have. The really important things like my family, my friends and good health. I have found myself lost in prayer so often these days. Thanking God for each blessed moment. Sharing my happiness with Him. Each time I see a neighbor who waves hello, happiness fills my heart. Simple gestures like a wave and a smile make life grand.

So despite the not so pleasant news, we have each other. We can do our best to make each day a happy one. Even though we may not have the opportunity to share the same porch, we can share our joy and happiness and our Mayberry Moments for a while to restore our souls. Thanks for visiting. Bentley and I wish you a very happy October 1st. Bentley and I will start making Mayberry Moments a weekly feature.
