Things I love the most about Fall
1. The Leaves have a story to tell. A story of the year that's ending . A story of great change where only the strongest leaves stay with the tree rooted to their feet as adversity and time sweep the rest away. They flutter longingly , some more colorful than the others - But change they must and with the changing seasons , change they will.
2. The 5 desperate cold minutes spent in the car while defrosting each morning while the warm air kicks in ..
3. The crisp , almost brittle air - so sharp and dry that the faintest thought would crease it .
4.Grey sweatshirt ...Like fall ..Grey too is transient ..Neither black nor white ..Neither summer nor winter ..In between and fleeting and hence magical
5. Starbucks Peppermint Flavored Latte !!!!
6. The struggle to find matching socks each morning
7. Pre Holiday loneliness turning into Pre Holiday Cynicsm turning into Pre Holiday introspection turning into Holiday turning into Post Holiday Resolution turning into Post holiday calories turning into Post Holiday retrospection
8.Writing the yearly obiturary
9. Listening to Auld Lang Syne
10. Making new year resolutions
11. Lying indoors while theres a perfect storm outside .
12. An excuse to light candles
13. An excuse to eat dessert
14. More Holidays
15.Scarves and Gloves .
What can I say . Its my favorite time of the year !
It makes me happy , makes me think and makes me love everything a little bit more intensely.
..and no matter how hard I try , when Sepetember ends , and the leaves are all dressed up to dance and the wind sings a song of promise ..I cant help but fall for Fall.
Enjoy this one ..something tells me its going to be special .
