Seasons of Change

        I am not sure what has happened to my blogging lately. I have a lot on my mind and have I guess taken a short hiatus from thinking about blogging. There are a few things that I sometimes think about at random moments. I guess, and perhaps I have blogged about this before, during this season I really begin to miss the seasons.
         I love the island weather, but I really love fall and this is the second fall that I am missing. I will have  more interesting things to blog about, but for all of you who are about to face the gripping cold of winter, I urge you to embrace the chilly kisses that the crisp winter air offers, for it is a blessing. Enjoy the crispy crunch of fall leaves beneath your feet as you walk in to your house. Take a moment to just stand and embrace the changes that come with the seasons. So as the seasons change we do also.
         It helps us to remember the past and look to the future. When there are no seasons it seems like life is stagnant-never moving forward and forgetting the past. I am more and more thankful for the seasons that keep me moving forward and ever reminding me of the past. Helping me to focus on how to do better next season, and what to keep the same. Reminding me that this time will soon move on and there will be another season. Reminding me to relish this season for all the changes that it will bring.
         They even keep me realizing what month it is, and what to expect later. For example, as the weather begins to cool and the leaves begin to change- my brain knows that halloween is coming and then thanksgiving, and as it is gets even colder, Christmas is on the way.
Without the change in the weather I forget about halloween, and thanksgiving, and other holidays that I generally look forward to.
           I know that this message isn't my usual, but hopefully for you who are about to embark on this journey, and for those of you who are already here, you will have time to really enjoy the seasons in your hometown.
