The rain is incessant, it has been beating on the roof and windows all night, when looking out the window I can see the trees fighting the wind as if the where holding on to their branches, it is dark, it is cold; it is fall alright.
And somehow it feels like a new beginning....somehow I feel inspired, somehow I am making plans, somehow I am looking forward to the season. In the past I would my feelings get the best of me, in the past I would focus on circumstances, but somehow, yes, somehow, I have changed, I have grown a little yet again.
You see, your attitude is a determinant for how you feel, and your attitude is a choice. So, I choose to be thankful, happy and enjoy. I choose to focus on my family, on the smell of cinnamon, and the colour of the changing leaves. I choose to wear my grandmother's hand-knitted socks, make a hot cup of chocolate, and let the good times roll!
