Autumn Memoirs

[Angelica]

I get a little nostalgic in these autumn days. Childhood scenes flash through my head & my heart beats faster trying to keep up with my thoughts, work, & life in general. This is my favorite time of the year. The weather is gentle inspiring me to meditate & dwell on my sentimental thoughts. Everybody is looking forward to Christmas & I just want to get stuck here in time. I don’t want winter to ever arrive. I want my autumn to flourish, and snow to fall on the green grass. I want the sun to be reflected on the ice & birds to play with polar bears. My best memories happened during this time of the year. This is the time to anticipate good things, to hope for exciting things to happen before the year is over, and wish our friends the best of luck. Somehow I feel peace in my heart that one year is over & I get to do better the next one but I don’t want this year to end because many good things happened during this year & I’ll always treasure it. No matter how many problems you confronted this year or how many times you got sick, there is always a rainbow behind every storm. I’m not going to say Happy New Year! because it’s just not appropriate but I’ll say that you enjoy this time, the best time of the year. Enjoy your friends, your dog, and your family & if you have none of the above enjoy nature. Buy a plant or perhaps a fish, give it a name. No matter how many negative events you have gone through, life is all around you, colorful orange leaves dance with the wind & the world seems more beautiful than ever before. HAPPY FALL!
