A pause for thought

I took these photos on the weekend, noticing that the leaves are starting to fall from the bushes, thinking that they still looked pretty like that. It has become colder.

I glanced at the obituary in the paper and read about the life of this man who passed at 66. He graduated school, became an engineer, got a job with a good company. Moved on to other successful jobs all over the world. Then he recently became a VIP executive with one company where he stayed until he left due to ill health. He was in the fall of his life I suppose, a life complete with close family and friends and this was his path, a successful one seemingly cut too short.

So whether your life took an upward path or a downward one, we are all going to meet our maker eventually, a pause for thought. Death is the great equalizer I am thinking.
