September 22nd marked the first official day of autumn and as with the official arrival of fall upon us, we now acknowledge the season of change and embrace all that the new landscape brings. It’s a time of year when day and night are of equal length and we are reminded that nature’s cycles are mirrored in our lives. Autumn can be viewed as a time for letting go, preparing for winter and starting anew. Autumn also reminds us of the impermanence of everything. We have experienced the budding of life in spring and the flowerings and profusions of summer. Now the leaves fall and bare branches remind us of the fleeting nature of all things. For me, this time of year also brings home to consciousness the cycle of life and the challenge to live every day to the fullest. Our resorts experienced hurricane force winds and rain earlier this month as Hurricane Irma passed through Central Florida impacting Summer Bay Orlando, Grand Seas in Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Waves in New Smyrna Beach. Look to the HOA updates section for resort specific recovery efforts. And while the Florida landscape recovers from high winds, heavy rains and storm surge, Tennessee resorts are surrounded by the splendor of autumn as leaves turn bright orange, red, and yellow. Read all about the remarkable fall splendor now on display in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and if you haven’t experienced a fall in the Great Smoky Mountains, you need to put this on your list of vacation ‘must dos’. Wishing you a colorful fall and quiet moments to rest, reflect, and soak up the natural splendor all around the beautiful landscapes we call home.
