Autumn

Self-improvement starts with kindness toward yourself.

Becoming better isn’t about who you were yesterday, but who you choose to be now.

Every small step forward counts more than waiting for the perfect leap.

Growth begins the moment you decide you’re worth the effort.

Every thankful thought plants another seed of joy.

Lilian May Miller (1895-1943) was a US woodblock printmaker and poet born in Tokyo, who was influenced by a Japanese printmaking style of strong colours and bold design #Womensart

We harvest peace when we sow kindness.

Gratitude turns ordinary days into golden hours.

The smallest kindness can become the largest harvest.

Leaves drift,
the cat stalks one
autumn’s smallest hunt.

A paw brushes autumn leaves,
leaves rustle and whisper secrets
only cats understand.

The best connections are woven with patience, respect, and care.

Kindness is the thread that mends what life may fray.

The quiet moments often hold the loudest truths.

Peace does not rush; it arrives softly, like sunlight through leaves.

Through golden leaves she glides,
Soft-footed where the sunlight hides,

A whisper stirs beneath her tread,
As autumn crowns her path ahead,

In eyes of bronze, the season gleams,
A fleeting queen of fading dreams.
