We are starting to say goodbye to summer temperatures and sleeveless clothing, trading them for nighttime blankets and sweats and socks. We'll still have a few hot days left to surprise us, but we are conscious of the approaching autumn chill and morning fog. Soon the leaves will start their annual color shift and we'll enjoy the last blaze of color before winter comes.
One friend said she hates autumn because it lets her know winter is not far off, and she hates cold weather. She can't enjoy the beauty of now because she's dreading something out in the future. How sad to live in that kind of mindset. I guess some folks just don't know how to embrace change.
