It’s Official!
It’s officially fall! I can change my sign from this… …to this! Would it surprise you to know that I didn’t always like fall? Growing up in the midwest, I hated it. One year, a friend was urging me to appreciate the colorful leaves, and I said I couldn’t because I was dreading winter so much. He said “Can’t you just enjoy this beautiful day and not worry about what’s coming up?’ I responded, “If you knew you were going to prison in two months, would you be able to ‘just enjoy’ yourself until then?” That was truly how I felt. I suffered through so many winters, and that was before SAD lamps were a thing. Finally, I decided life was too short to be that unhappy for so much of the year, and moved to Opposite Land, aka Florida. Now I suffer through the summers. The weather is horrible and we don’t want to be outside. But… it’s coming. Sometime soon, probably next month, we’ll wake up and find that cold, dry air has blown through. It’s like the first beautiful spring day up north. We’ll be able to OPEN THE WINDOWS! We’ll be able to be outside without feeling like the sun is trying to kill us. I can go for a run and actually feel invigorated instead of depleted afterwards. Let’s list all the things I love about fall… And most of all… fall is the season of hope and anticipation. At least, down here. Happy fall from Opposite Land! Link Up With Tuesday Topics Welcome back to Tuesday Topics, as Jenny, from Runners Fly joins Jenn at Runs With Pugs to co-host this link-up!
