Can you tell I'm from the South???
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Which to be honest, I love all the seasons. Even if some of them are short lived in eastern NC. Seasons are just like a new day. It's a chance to try again, to do better, be better. To change.
I'm still working on change. I am a creature of habit. Although I should be used to it by now. Nothing stays the same. But, that's alright. How boring would staying the same be??? Same ole, same ole. New seasons are a chance to dream again. Make goals and achieve those goals. I have a few on my list.
Seasons are also a chance to reflect on the last season you just came out of or maybe you still are going through. I have had some seasons where they lasted longer than 3 months. What I love most about a new season is the excitement of the unknown. What is going to change this time. We go to the Blue Ridge mountains every year during the fall. I am originally from there and have family I love to go see. While we are there my husband and I love to "go up on the mountain" and see the fall leaves. All the beautiful colors. Oranges, reds, pinks, even some purple; its spectacular. I have been doing this every fall season of my 40+ years and I never have seen the same colors in the same places. Some years the colors are really vibrant and some years the colors do not last as long. Yet all the leaves still change.
You may be or not be excited about the season we are in but girlfriend, it will CHANGE. We have to change to bring new life to us, to wake us up and prepare us for the next season. Just like those trees in the mountains that change colors and eventually loose their leaves. In the spring they start to bud and blossom again into something just as beautiful than the season before.
Every season has some kind of beautiful, whether its the beginning, the middle or the end. Look for your beautiful during this season.
Thanks for stopping by.
Dawn
