There’s just something about it.

Something lovely.

Something peaceful.

Something that makes my heart grow three sizes bigger at the very thought of it.

It’s the way the air smells when I first wake up in the morning.  It’s the way the light looks just a little bit different.  A little bit softer.  It’s the way the leaves crunch under our feet when we run in the park and the way we need to pull our sleeves over our hands to keep them from getting too cold.  It’s the way it feels to curl up under our down blanket and the way our toes wiggle in front of our fireplace. It’s the way we hug a little tighter and cuddle a little longer.

It’s the shorter days and the longer nights. It’s the cool breeze and the warm colours.  It’s the comforting drinks and delicious scents.  It’s the cozy sweaters and the new found routines.  It’s the anticipation and it’s the delight.

It’s the way all of my favourite moments seem to flood my memory all at once.  It’s the way my breathing gets deeper…my pace gets slower…and my sense of self gets truer.  It’s the way everything I love…everything I crave…and everything I know…just comes alive.

It’s September.

It’s Fall.

It’s the beginning of something beautiful…
