October on the Brain

            I am so excited for Fall. It is my favorite time of year. I cannot wait for the crunching leaves.

 

Pumpkins, apple cider, and crisp air… Some see Fall as leaves dying, cold and the step before the snow comes. For others, it is a favorite time of year. A season full of beautiful warm colors, family and love.

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Autumn is the time of year, like trees, we can shed the old and prepare for new. We think about what we learned, and what we can change.

Fall is a beautiful, peaceful time of year. A time when for family and friends. A time that we can start anew and a time for love.
