Fall is by far my favorite time of year. The weather cools down, the trees change to beautiful shades of red and orange. I love pumpkins, apples and Halloween. I get to wear sweaters and scarves and boots. Every fall feels like a new beginning to me.
Last year with fall came the start of my new single life. This time last year my 2 1/2 year marriage was ending and although I was still a little sad about it I knew it needed to end. My relationship was anything but healthy and i knew that the new adventure ahead was worth the hurt I was feeling. This fall's new beginning is not nearly as dramatic however I feel it is just as important. I am not the same person I was a year ago today. I am happy. I have great friends and a loving family. I am still trying to figure things out but I don't really think anyone has it all figured out anyway. I have decided I will be happy no matter what. I am not going to let the little things get to me. I am going to love with all my heart and not be afraid of looking silly or being rejected. I am going to be me, openly, faults and all. I want people to know I am struggling, but that struggling isn't a bad thing. That I am going to embrace my new beginning. Most of all I am gonna pull on my favorite sweater and boots, go outside and feel blessed. My favorite season is here and I intend to celebrate it.
