The right time of year

Fall seems to be a very important time of the year.

Not only because of the so-called harvesting and storing the harvest for the winter.

Although, it is only this year that I realize that this harvesting and storage only affects certain fruits, if we are talking about fruits. And that doesn't include my favorite ones. Because the time for fruits like cherries, strawberries and figs has long passed and now, when it is time to "storage", they are long gone.

But today I will not talk about fruits and harvest in the true sense of the word, although I use such pictures to illustrate the post.
Oh, don't be fooled by these pictures. When they were taken, the apple harvest was very good. It's always good though, it's hard to grow anything when you don't use pesticides, you know that.

Today it's about time. The right time for something.
You know that during the year there is a symbolically appropriate time for one thing or another. For example: spring cleaning in the spring, setting new goals in the winter, with the beginning of the new year, etc. But in the fall?

Well, harvesting perhaps says it unequivocally: you collect your creations during the year and sit down to think.
Do you like what you created? Are you satisfied with what you have achieved?

How will you set new goals in the winter if you haven't considered what you achieved in the fall?

Today I sit down to write about this because I myself have been feeling particularly the last few days.
I may be in denial that fall has arrived (yes, the photos in this post are from last year. As are the photos in the previous post where I told you about fall.) My personal thermometer may still be showing that it's summer.
But I feel different.

I fell asleep too early yesterday, which happens to me very rarely. Like I feel tired. And it's like I need to think about some things before I move forward.

I recently had a conversation with my boyfriend about life and he said something like: one has to be careful how one spends one's life and where one focuses one's attention and actions, so one day one doesn't look back and say to oneself: Where did my life go? Am I satisfied with what I have achieved? Was it worth it?

But is one aware of the answer to this question: Is it worth it? always and at any time.

When we talk only about money, perhaps we can easily answer this question. But when we invest in our actions some moral values, we can no longer do that.

Therefore, I sometimes think that even if a person sits down to think about his life, even if the time of the year in which he is most suitable for this, he will not achieve anything.

Do you believe that human life is designed so simply?
Remember what Schopenhauer said about 'the easy life' 😁
