It is autumn again with all the
bright colors, the clear , bbief pa
tches of sunlight, and the sudden a
waken’ing in the morning to a foggy,
| gray world. We know that winter is
I not far away now, for some of us /jd/
this is a busy time, for some a time
to slow down and catch our second
wind, but to many, it is only anoth
er season, to be passed in illness
or pain. Do you know a shut-in, or
someone who has no one to care? If
you do, just take a moment, write a
| simple note of encouragement, or A/i/i
just send a cheerful card, but do
something for someone who needs it,,
even a brief phone call could make
a bright spot in someone’s day.
