A shift in perspective.

Darkness arrives earlier, setting the stage for a deeper seasonal shift. The mood wanders, looking inward, buffeted by the wind. 

It can be comforting, as the shoulder season wanes and the potluck gatherings wax. But not for all. Loneliness lurks among the quietude. Look out for one another ­­— be ready to lend a hand, an ear, a meal, a smile. Remember, a gift bestowed is a gift received.
