A Contemplative Walk

They say it takes 40 days to develop a habit. This was day 14 in my attempt to acknowledge daily my gratitude for things both great and small. Part of my day included a walk through the grounds of The Hermitage, a 14room Gothic Revival home built in 1847-48. All that was required of me was to be present and enjoy the waning beauty of the season. The house, unfortunately, wasn't open.
