The Firsts of Fall

Welcome, Fall. So glad you've brought all your beautiful colors, your cool weather, and your sweet and spicy smell with you. Truly, you are welcome here!

When fall comes around to my part of town, I look forward to Pumpkin Spice lattes, crunchy leaves, boots, and hoodies. I find myself sniffing the air much more often than otherwise necessary simply to smell...yep, you guessed it...fall.

Fall is quite possibly my favorite season simply because you can actually watch the earth changing and it's so exciting! Yes, it means that winter is right around the corner with it's snow and ice and freezing cold. But I like to live in the moment. I like to live in today and let tomorrow take care of itself. And today, it's fall.

Today I'm going to take advantage of the cool breeze, roll my windows down and turn the air off. Today I'm going make the kids go outside and play and get some energy out while they can. Today I'm going to make sure my boots are still in good shape for the season. Today, I'm going to enjoy fall.

It's amazing what will happen when you just stop and look around at the world and how its changing right in front of you. Kinda puts a lot of things in perspective.

Try it. It might change your life.
