It hasn't been a particularly spectacular Fall this year in the mountains. Although, there are some pretty spectacular trees hinting at what could have been. "What could have been" seems to be the operative phrase lately for a lot of people. It's easy to get stuck in melancholia but it's not a safe place to stay. Melancholia too easily allows a pile up of "woe is me" artifacts - broken pipes, dead mouse in the wall, holes in walls and ceilings to replace pipes, half painted house, dirty carpets from repair guys, etc. Yet, the rain finally stops, the sun shines down on beautiful brisk autumn days, pipes get replaced, holes get repaired, house gets painted, and carpets can be cleaned. As for the mouse, he still stinks in the wall! But, hey, silver linings on the rest of it. And today there will be spectacular music from the Glenn Miller band at Penn"s Peak. Time to replace "what could have been" with "what ifs"! What if you just moved ahead with what is! Carpe diem !
