Fall

Currently, I'm sitting outside on a beautiful, fall day in East Texas.

Yeah, usually it isn't this gorgeous here, even in the fall. Autumn is by far my favorite, but I've kind of missed out the last few years... fall down here is NOTHING like it is up north. But some how, I've stuck it out. Yep, this is the ideal day. Slight breeze, crisp air, sun (though I'm sitting in the shade), approx 65 degrees. Nearly *perfect*.

Too bad it isn't always like this. But somehow, I think if it was, I may just grow used to it, and the awe of it would diminish, which would be quite a sad thing.

For now, I'll just enjoy it while I can.

-------------------------------------------

On a slightly different note, it's almost October! (Hey, I said slightly...)

Which means, I get to visit someone *very* dear to me. It also means one month closer to moving!

Though I have greatly enjoyed my stay in the state of Texas, my time here is very quickly nearing a close. I'll be moving back to my hometown for just a little bit, saving up some money, and spending time with some special people, then it's off to another destination...

But for now, I'm going to focus on here.

Because it is today that I have been promised.

And tomorrow has enough worries of its own.

--------------------------------------------

Now, back to fall...

I love how crisp the air is, the leaves changing colors, the cool nights, needing to wear a jacket (and maybe a pair of cute boots ;] ), bonfires, cool starry nights, soups, stews, and crock pot recipes, hot lattes (with fall flavors), hot teas, scented candles, curling up in a fuzzy blanket, cuddling without getting too warm, being able to wear cute socks (hey, it's the little things), fall sunrises and sunsets, no mosquitoes (or fire ants, for all you East Texans)...

Yeah, I'm sure I could go on, but I think you catch my drift.

---------------------------------------

Nothing too intense today. I got a bit frustrated earlier, but then I stopped and realized the absolute blessing God gave me when He created today. It's days like this that really speak to my heart.
