Hurricane Helene is forecast to land in the big bend of Florida (the curve in the shape of the state) Thursday evening which is today. I’m writing this on Wednesday. Since my move to a more central location in the state, I no longer worry about being where the storms land. I will get wind and rain but less fierce, and my county is under a tropical storm warning.

Autumn Inspirational Printable Letting Go
I’ve mentioned before that I like to surround myself with things that have meaning for me whether it’s a painting by my father, my grandmother’s “ear bobs”, or words from scripture or a hymn.
