Of Seasons and Change

I always debate whether I like spring or fall better.

Spring is when my birthday is and all the flowers start growing.

But fall is just so crisp and wonderfully invigorating. 

And I've never been able to decide until this week.

Fall is my favorite.

Waking up to thunderstorms and cloudy skies is just perfect.

Blustery winds make the days exciting and adventurous. 

And throughout fall the air slowly gets colder as it gets closer to winter and more change. 

I've never really liked change. 

It's hard and it's stressful.

And sometimes you don't know why things have to change, and the change is hard, ever so hard, 

but you know it's the right thing, so you keep pushing on.

That's what fall is like.

It's a relief from the heat of summer. It warns of winter days to come.

 But it's just right. It's in the middle. 

It's in between, it's change, and it's still beautiful. 

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house."

Nathaniel Hawthorne

So who wants to go for a walk with me?
