Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
movable date always confuses me a bit; I tend to think of the first day of
autumn as falling on the 23rd, but not this year!
September Equinox is on Saturday, September 22, 2012.
Strangely, we not only have no midi file attached, but the Linda Eder Bonus Video no longer seems to be available, so we have a cover version of today's song:

SAD NEWS:
From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of
VA - 09/21/12, 11:53 AM - "
Susie
Collier McKown":
Carol, I thought I'd send this link to you in case you didn't know about this. The obituary is for Suzie Collier, Jeannie and Carol's younger sister. I'd heard she'd been sick with cancer for a while. Since she graduated from Bethel High and the article doesn't mention NNHS or her siblings last names, you probably didn't realize the who it was. Hope you and Paul are doing well. Love, Sandi http://www.legacy.com/
Oh, NO!! Thank you so much,
Sandi!

SMELLS LIKE RAIN! THIS IS AWESOME!!
You've got to love this one. The Smell of Rain http://living-testimony.blogspot.com/2006/10/heaven-scent-story-of-diana-blessing.html:
A cold March wind danced around the dead of
night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of
Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David,
held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That
afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only
24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver the couple's
new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing.
Thank you so much, Sarah
Sugah!

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 09/17/12 - "5 Roads to Self Discovery":
Roads to Self
Discovery...How to Find Your Road By Wee Dilts Webster defines Self Discovery as the act or process of achieving
self-knowledge. Further, he defines Self Help as the action or process
of bettering oneself or overcoming one's problems. A pivotal point, an epiphany or an "AHA" moment. This is when realization impacts your consciousness. You know your life must change. It's crystal clear, and from that point on you see the road to a new life and your life is never, ever the same. 2. It might be a point, reached by many addicts and alcoholics, when you feel you can no longer handle life. This is often referred to as bottoming out. You simply give up and reach out for help. You choose the road to recovery asking for help from others. You find a group of peers where there is a coming together for common mutual assistance. 3. Perhaps you are experiencing un-rest or dis-ease and you're seeking the help of a therapeutic or spiritual help group. You choose a road to travel with other souls who share your concerns and are of a like mind. If you open up to the nudging of your subconscious mind you'll discover the right road. 4. Because of a gnawing need to learn and discover, you might choose the road of research and education. You may take classes, get a degree, read books, view videos and take seminars, learn meditation. All of the roads you may choose are chosen in the name of self-discovery. 5. You may unexpectedly find the road to a higher power. Perhaps you find a place, a person, a thing or a group that you can believe in. In other words, you come to believe. The important point is knowing you can find help and change your life. As you begin to apply all you've learned from your journey, you can live the life you have always dreamed of living. We really can live extraordinary lives. You just have to find your own road, travel it and see where it leads. Once the road opens you must take action. You must move yourself to travel the road. Albert Einstein said: "Nothing happens until something moves." A healthy spirit of self-discovery raises people from despair. It advances you in intelligence, virtue, and spiritual growth. Four things you need to do as you set out on the road to self-discovery: 1. Forgive yourself 2. Forgive others 3. Accept yourself 4. Accept others Samuel Smiles: "The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual." Whichever road you choose, consider what it will do for you. Your journey should: 1. Not harm you, but rather benefit you 2. Improve your attitude 3. Positively change your behavior 4. Improve your environment 5. Re-educate your subconscious 6. Enlighten your consciousness 7. Include self forgiveness and forgiveness of others 8. Bring about self-acceptance 9. Improve your self esteem John Wooden: "Remember this, the choices you make in life, make you." Travel your road with enthusiasm and apply what you learn. Make the trip about discovering the life you've always dreamed of living. Too often we look at the road but do not start the journey. Too often we limit ourselves. How sad, when we could learn to live extraordinary lives. You can be happier, healthier, and more prosperous. Find your road(s) to discovery of self. THEN GO FOR IT. C.R. Law: "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow."

“What am I supposed to do with this?” grumbled the motorist as the police clerk handed him a receipt for his traffic violation. “Keep it,” the clerk advises. “When you get four of them, you get a bicycle.” |

When autumn comes and leaves obey
I think of you when spring was new
And fall was miles away
And when I close my eyes I see you
And I don't feel the chill
When autumn comes...it's summer still
When autumn comes and wild geese fly
I wonder do you see them too
Across the restless sky
And does October catch you dreaming
Of Central Park in June
Or is love lost beneath the frost
Of autumn's moon Summers by the sea
When the sun would linger till the moon was high
Days of you and me
Underneath a sheltering sky
Did we move too fast for the glow of love to last
When autumn comes and summer goes
I will remember through November
What September knows
That nothing lasts forever and
Summer love moves on
So when the leaves begin to change
I find it sad but never strange
That you are all I can recall
When autumn comes
