Fall is absolutely my most favorite season! I love it! Many people have a sadness surrounding fall; the sad goodbye to the lazy days of summer. Not me! I have always loved fall. To me, fall symbolizes things new and exciting.
When I was a child, fall was the excitement of starting school, seeing all of my old friends, and making new friends. Fall was the thrill of new school supplies and a snappy new clothes. It was the first football game of the season on a crisp evening. Fall always meant the end of the summer television repeats and finding out what new television shows were going to be my favorite. Beginnings, beginnings, beginnings.
As an adult, fall brings me many of the same feelings it did in my youth. I still love buying school supplies and the first football game of the season. But, I have a deeper appreciation for fall now. Living in Arizona, I definitely look forward to the cooler temperatures and being outside more (that is without spontaneously combusting from the heat). I look forward to running again. I look forward to shorter days; to what feels like a slower pace, although I have also learned that is an illusion (time goes quickly regardless of the time of year). I look forward to Pumpkin Spice lattes and sweet treats made with apples.
So, here is to fall and the fabulous beginnings it brings. What “beginning” will you be making this fall?
