This year the arrival of fall means it's that much closer to 2010!
A big event will be the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C.
That is exciting, but not what I'm looking forward to the most.
So what am I looking forward to the new year? Decca Records said to expect new music from Clay Aiken in the first half of 2010! A new Clay CD, TV shows, and there will have to be a tour, don't you think?! Yahoo!
To keep Clay fans busy until then, the National Inclusion Project Gala is less than a month away, with Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas not far behind. This short lull is a good time to catch up on routine jobs until the festivities and excitement have returned.
Fall and spring are traditional times to clean your house. Do some multi-tasking by reflecting back over the months gone by while doing the cleaning. Gather the positive events and the negative. Keep the positives to remember, and toss the negatives out. Take the lessons learned from both sides, then relax and enjoy your refreshed home and mind.
Time to turn on the stereo for my motivational music to accompany the cleaning up - Clay Aiken music is playing, of course! Clay’s songs are the most powerful companion at any time.
Leaves
Elsie Brady
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow

Wonderful autumn blog. You certainly do much to promote Clay Aiken.
I Know How the River Feels has always been one of my favorite pre idol recordings that Clay Aiken did.
I needed to come back for something to soothe my eyes - knew this was just the place!!!!
:) Thank you Ashes!
