Five Minute Friday is a writing event that has writers
spending five minutes writing on the same topic and then sharing
them at http://katemotaung.com/five-minute-friday/. This week's word is Green.
We will soon be saying goodbye to green. The trees in Oklahoma have already started changing colors. They are filling with reds and yellows. This is my favorite time of year. After the brutal, hot summer, the air becomes crisp and outdoors is the place to be. My utility bills have been mercifully low - no need for heat or AC. That means more green in my checkbook.
I try not to think about the leaves falling to the ground and the snow falling from the sky. But I remember something I heard once, without the leaves falling off the trees, we can't have a new start. The dead leaves are our deeds from the previous year, the buds are the promise of good deeds to come in the next year.
So with the green comes hope. New chances, new promises, new life.
