I’ve always really liked the fall. The leaves changing, the cooler weather, Halloween, football season, everything really. It’s awesome.
A couple years ago, I was so busy at the office, stressed out, and just generally overwhelmed by everything in my life that sometime in December, I woke up (not literally, but it felt like it) and realized that all of the trees were bare, it was freezing outside, and I had totally missed what I’ve always thought of as the best season of the year.
Why am I telling you this? Because we are currently smack dab in the middle of that season, and I don’t want you to miss it. Find a patio, a cold (or hot) beverage, a hammock or a lawn chair, wake up, and enjoy it.
