"Don't fear the changes in life. Embrace them!" Change can be a challenge, but it can also help one to grow and thrive. When faced with changes that seem frightening, think about the beauty of the fall colors. They may not last long, but memories of them can last, especially if you take photos of scenes that are beautiful for you. Don't worry about whether others will like them because if you like them that is what is most important. Save your fall photos as wallpaper for your devices and look at them after the colors are gone and branches are bare.  “Nothing endures but change.” - Heraclitus

1 Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright 'Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. 2 Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar; Heav'nly hosts sing "alleluia! Christ, the Savior, is born! Christ, the Savior, is born!" 3 Silent night, holy night! Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
