Saddest month of the year? I could make a case for it being September. Think about it. It is a very melancholy time of year as summer days and fun are gone, the weather begins to cool down, daylight gets shorter and all the leaves turn brown and die. The circle of life goes on. Perhaps in the fall it becomes the circle of death as hunting season commences, hogs are killed and gardens get depleted.

Bottom line, September reminds me of some women I have known – very beautiful for awhile, but winter and colder days eventually set in. Enjoy the beauty while you can.
