There is nothing quite as lovely, to me, as Autumn. The colorful, swirling leaves... the layers of oranges and yellows and reds along the treetops... the crispness of the fresh air. And wearing sweaters. I love wearing sweaters.
I feel most alive in the Autumn months. I am excited for the family times that come with the holiday season, and for the more quiet and relaxed evenings that start earlier with each passing sunset. I love seeing homes with lights on in the windows, or dancing lights from someone's fireplace. To go for long walks in the evenings, wrapped arm in arm...
I guess to me, Autumn is all about "home." And I love being home. I am comfortable here, I can rest here, and I can enjoy my time. And if I want to, and I do at times, I sing out loud, and twirl and dance with my dog. Although she is older now and can't stay up on her hind legs, she still lifts her paw onto my leg with that cheerful glimmer in her eye as I sing and act like a nut. We're dancing partners from way back, you know. Pure and simple love. She thinks I'm the best dancer... :)
So, be happy where you are. Belt out a tune, and swirl across your floor to some lovely music that brings it out in you. And most of all, share your joy with those that surround you, be it two-legged or four.
And be blessed.
Cheri ♥
