New Year, New Leaves

As I got out of the car to open the gate I paused to admire the simple beauty of the oak leaves now pressed into the dirt-&-grass driveway. Later, I thought of the phrase “turning over a new leaf,” and I think it fits for this time of changes, transitions, modifications, and renewals. Since this theme covers many topics, and by the time I finish writing about them all it would be quite the intimidatingly-long post, I’ll publish them in installments. :-) Hope you enjoy & benefit from them!
