Autumn Love.

Fall seemed to literally arrive overnight. One day, it's 98 degrees, the next day - overcast, misty, cool, and well, FALL. I heart Fall.

Fall is crisp. Clean. Colorful. Calm. It even smells good. Apples, pumpkin spice, that 'campfire' smell that fills the air in the evenings, cool misty mornings, warm-ish afternoons, and the kind of clear, starry sky-ed evenings that make you want to light a candle, nestle into a fuzzy blanket with your love, have a cup of tea over an intimate conversation, all while keeping the window cracked so you can smell the nights' air as it kisses your cheeks. It's romantic, it's sweet. It's my favorite.

There's something to be said about a new season. A new season in weather, a new season in fashion, a new season in life, a new season in love. Sometimes change is terrifying, sometimes whether or not we realize it at the time, change is amazing. Change of perspective, change of heart - attitude, gratitude...all of the above. A shift. I am thankful.

I am thankful for every sense of this season. I am thankful for peace. I am thankful for patience. I am thankful for forgiveness. I am thankful for love.

As we head into this new season - especially leading up to the holidays, what are you thankful for?
