Fall Days And Busy Schedules

Friends,

Have you noticed how busy fall sometimes seems? We often forget that winter actually starts just days before Christmas, which means fall is the season of holidays - for almost all faith traditions and beliefs. As the daylight grows shorter, it also somehow just seems to make time shorter. Like plants, animals need sunlight to thrive, and even though humans do not hibernate, it often feels like part of our residual brains want to go to sleep with the first snow fall and come back out when the maple sap starts running in the deciduous forests of the world.

Just two quick notes to start this week.

• There is still time to set up for the first session of the ADORE program on Thursday night. It will be hybrid, with the facilitator and most people online, but with space in the Committee Room at UU Santa Fe set up with Wally to stream the Zoom. You can register here for the first three sessions. You will be able to register for the final scheduled session in November.

• Sunday the 16th is the beginning of a new Freethinkers/Secular Alliance series on planning for end-of-life care, including how to talk to loved ones before it is critical, and what steps you can take now. Please contact Mim Chapman or Mary Ellen Gonzales for information on how to sign up, and for a full list of speakers.
