Hello, Autumn

Fall has always been my favorite season. The smell of burning leaves, the cloudy days, the beautiful foliage, scarves and hoodies, hot chocolate, pumpkin EVERYTHING. There are no shortage of reasons why I love Fall. It ushers in a sense of coziness that I have long adored.

I'm looking forward to the temperatures finally dropping (It's a balmy 86 degrees today) and doing ALL THE FALL THINGS. Bonfires, apple picking, baking, hikes, etc etc etc!

I'm hoping to go to the Renaissance Fesitval with my husband this weekend or maybe just get out and go on a hike somewhere. A friend posted a picture from a hike this weekend in West Virginia and the leaves are already changing! Ugh, my FAVORITE!

Fall tends to usher in this spirit of thankfulness and gratitude that I wish we all had year round. An appreciation for our lives and the people in it. Counting our blessings instead of our troubles.

Life can sometimes get the best of us. We turn on autopilot and we just begin letting life happen to us instead of actively participating. Instead of taking charge and purposing our steps, we allow life to boss us around...

Take a look around you. You woke up this morning. You have breath in your lungs, a beating heart. If you are here on earth today, you have a purpose. If you didn't, God would have already removed you. Find out your purpose. Seek the Lord and He will reveal it to you. Determine to LIVE life. Explore, learn, create, dream, hope...
