Reversal of Fortunes
All too familiar. I’ve been through these kinds of things before. I know very well the ins and outs of fortunes and their reversals. I lived as a dot com contractor during the crash that coincided with 911. That was a reversal of fortune on a very personal level resulting in a thing we like to call receivership. But this one was not like that.
…one of the outside indentured servants…
Today’s reversal of fortune was, for me, a more fortunate event. Today I got to be one of the outside indentured servants. Today I got to drive my car through the back roads of Central Ontario. The trees, rushing to beat the first official day of fall two days hence, display their autumnal colours boldly. Fall comes early in the north. Still warm enough to to leave the jacket at home, but late enough in the solar year for nature to dawn her multicoloured pajamas before winter’s sleep.
Today by fluke of corporate requirements I got the gift of time to be. To be out. To be free. To be engaged, even for a small moment of time, with the changing world around me. It’s a definite change of fortune, and I’m more fortunate for it.

Phew!
When I saw that title I thought: “Shit! Oh no, not again!”
Like Canada, Scotland is the most amazing country in its autumnal colours.
I love it!

Didn’t mean to give you a fright there
Here east of Toronto, the trees are just
starting to change.I love your ” nature to dawn her multicoloured pajamas before winter’s sleep”.
When I lived in Quebec it was gorgeous there in the
fall.Beautiful enough to make you almost cry of joy.

Marie - thanks for dropping by and reading. My favourite season is the fall. It’s one of the reasons I love living in Canada where you get Fall to the fullest.
