This is a time of new beginnings. This is Autumn, better
known as Fall, the season of endless colors, simply satisfying spices, and continuous
feelings of coziness and comfort. There are countless things to love about
these short but wonderful months of September, October, and November.
The trees dance in the howling, soaring wind, as they shed
their vibrantly colored snowflakes upon the world. And all of the cerulean sky
is swirling with various shades of crimson and saffron. Just take a moment, and
look at all the beauty that surrounds you.
Everywhere you look, the leaves are falling from the trees,
painting the sky in a truly entrancing waltz. You feel a sense of overwhelming
happiness, like you’re hugging a big warm marshmallow. The weather finally
starts to cool down, and the desert heat is replaced with a beautiful
crispness, like a bite from a freshly picked apple. Long walks in the afternoon
are the best way to spend your time. Every step you take is met with the
satisfying crunch of leaves, perfect for jumping in. Road trips are an absolute
must. The wind blows in your hair, and all your worries just fly away like the
leaves in the sky. Every single thing you pass by looks like the prettiest painting
imaginable. And now you can finally start wearing the comfiest pieces of
clothing in your closet.
There’s sweaters for every shade of the rainbow, the
fuzziest of all scarves, and boots so fluffy that it actually feels like you’re
walking on clouds. And let’s not forget about the emergence of flannel with its
wonderful intersecting stripes of sapphire and scarlet. There’s also the
necessity of perfectly warm fluff-filled socks, that feel like a warm embrace
from a giant adorable teddy bear. And no feeling in the world will ever compare
to the feeling of bundling up under a blanket cocoon like a caterpillar beside
your freshly lit pumpkin spice candle, while sipping on your steamy mug of hot
chocolate, and watching your latest TV obsession.
Hot chocolate is the perfect fall weather beverage. Every
sip is filled with joyful warmth and tastes like life at its finest. The sound
of marshmallows plopping into a heavenly hot tub of delicious creamy goodness
and the glorious white swirls of whipped cream gracefully resting on top are
both wonderful additions to an already magical beverage.
All the food of Fall just tastes better. It’s filled with
soothing warmth and love that protects you from the chilly outdoors. Pumpkins
and apples are everywhere, and every place you go is like a scratch and sniff
sticker of cinnamon goodness.
Fall also means the beginning of the holiday season. It all
starts with Halloween, the day of ghouls and goblins and children and candy.
It’s the one day of the year where everyone takes on a new persona and walks
from house to house, getting huge piles of candy. The streets are filled with bloodthirsty
vampires, dazzling princesses, and daring superheroes. Every house is decorated
from top to bottom with delicate silver cobwebs, hauntingly deadly skeletons,
and the iridescent glow of jack-o-lanterns. The air is filled with an eerily
mysterious fog, and scary movies light up the screens in every household. Then,
another month goes by, and it’s time for Thanksgiving.
All the schools close, and everyone’s stress flies away into
the deliciously chilly air. The only things that matter are family and friends.
There’s tables filled with food, ranging everywhere from turkey, gravy, and
stuffing to mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and pumpkin pie. Everyone watches
the Thanksgiving Day Parade and eats and laughs and then eats again.
The next day will be filled with sales galore on the
glorious day of Black Friday, but for now you’re just thankful to be here with
so many people that love you.
Fall is a wonderful season filled with magic and
love. Take the time to appreciate all
the little things around you. There are so many people and things in your life
that you’re so lucky to have. I hope that you all experience the many wonders
of this incredible season.
