The Magic of This Time of Year

These next three months - Autumn through The Holidays - are my FAVORITE time of year! The change of season, the falling leaves, football games, pumpkins, fires in the fireplace, Halloween costumes, cheesy holiday songs and Christmas carols, over-the-top decorating, hustle-bustle of preparing and shopping, the cool crisp air invites hand-holding and snuggling, kissing someone as snowflakes fall and stick to eyelashes, sipping hot chocolate as a fresh blanket of snow quiets everything... All of these bring the promise of a new beginning, a new chapter, the curiosity of what's next, and the excitement that comes with the mystery.
