The angel of October rejoices as we reap the harvest of what we have sown in life.

October is a good time to step back from our projects and our dreams and take a hard look at what we have actually accomplished.  The October angel helps us to be honest and objective about what is good and what is not.  With this help, we can clearly face the consequences of our choices over the past seasons.  We will taste our harvest and reject what is bitter or unripe; we will make note of what worked and what did not, and we will change for the better.

October's angel teaches us that the greatest fruit of our personal harvest is understanding ourselves.

MANY FRIENDS TOUCH OUR HEARTS,

THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

THE KIND AND THOUGHTFUL THINGS THEY DO,

THE SPECIAL WORDS THEY SAY.

SO MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED,

SO BUSY WITH THINGS TO DO,

SOMETIMES WE EVEN FORGET TO SAY,

"MY FRIEND I DO LOVE YOU!"

MEMORIES WE BUILD TOGETHER,

WE WILL KEEP IN OUR HEARTS,

THINKING OF THEM WHEN NIGHTS ARE LONG,

OR WHEN A NEW DAY STARTS.

SO STARTING TODAY, MY FRIEND

I WAN YOU TO KNOW,

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL

AND I WANT TO TELL YOU SO.

GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS,

WE WILL FACE OUR UPS AND DOWNS,

AND KEEP THAT HAPPY SMILE GOING,

FOR A TRUE FRIEND I HAVE FOUND.
