Apple of My Eye

"You are the apple of my eye.

Forever you will stay in my heart."

Stevie Wonder

There is such beauty to be found while viewing an apple tree. There are apple blossoms, multi-colored skins, and the heaviness of the branches bearing this fruit. There are multiple kinds of apples, some being sweet while others are tart. Particular apples are good for eating while others are perfect for baking or apple butter. 

It is easy to liken friends to the existence of apples. Each one has its own essence and strengths with multi-colored skins. Our friends weigh heavy in our heart and meet individual needs in relationship. Whether collectively or selectively, friends contribute to our life in a variety of ways.

In this fall season, my heart is overwhelmed by joy. I am blessed with a brilliant spectrum of color, a variety of fragrances, and an abundance of outdoor activities. The connection with nature is especially strong, calling me outside for walks and talks. Breathing in energies, my creative juices flow into all parts of my life.
