I Fall Hard forFall in Williamson County

Dear Readers,

I am a self-proclaimed summer girl. But honestly, when fall comes to Williamson County… I am torn. The air and sky and the light literally change all around us during this time of year. Driving around town, leaves beginning to fall, pumpkin and corn stalk décor everywhere and of course plenty of Halloween prep going on; I fall hard for fall in Williamson County!

It’s been a hard year. For everyone, everywhere, for multitudes of reasons many of us never in a million years anticipated experiencing in 2020. Or ever. But here we are, and you know what... We are all going to be ok. My faith tells me that. But so do my eyes. And ears. I hear some normalcy again. I see some smiles finally – unhidden; projecting gladness and hope and gratitude. There is laughter, and planning, and fun again. Some of the weight feels lifted and the heavy burden of uncertainty and fear, has begun to subside. I may speak for myself – but through all seasons of life, there are lessons to be learned and through all difficulty – silver linings to be had.

Here at Robertson Media Group, we just keep on truckin’. What else can you do really? Never knew a time when working wasn’t an option. Never had the ability to lay down responsibility. So, we have maintained our business as best we could – and now…well, we are feeling some sense of that normal I was talking about. And it feels like so many of the rest of you are too. Gives this season even more a sense of bounty, even more a sense of thankfulness.

Johnny and I celebrated eight years of marriage this last week and that came with some perspective for me, on good times and bad time; that old better for worse stuff; sickness and health; it resonates even more

when you experience more of it. Especially when you weather it. Survive it. Beat it. Life is never perfect and certainly never easy, no matter who you are and whether you are in the middle of a world health crisis or not, it helps to have some perspective of: This too shall pass. Just like the seasons (or a news cycle), things move forward. Circumstances ebb and flow. Life goes on. When you focus on the good, the positive, and treat others with empathy and kindness – life is better. Really. You really do get what you give.

So, go out and embrace this fall with everything you have. Savor the sights and sounds and smells of autumn in Williamson County. Forget your worries for a moment and take it all in. That hasn’t changed – it did come round again, just as it does every year. We may all wish we had a do over on 2020 in so many ways – but take this season and make a silver lining and do all you can to make things better in the world.

Oh… one more thing – VOTE! See you at the polls November 3rd!
