some years back, i entered into an embarassingly heated argument with a canadian about season changes in California. he insisted that all was sunny here and even in the winter, it didn't drop below 70 degrees. i could see where he was coming from because it's true, our seasons aren't dramatic (not in so cal anyway), but they still very much exist. even now, signs of Fall are starting to appear - from the color changes in the leaves to the shedding of plant life all around.
for those not in the know, Fall is my ultimate favorite holiday. i love the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows - i can even smell Fall in the air. i love carving pumpkins for halloween, i love pumpkin pie, i love thanksgiving and being lazy with family after feasting... i love the feeling of love this season brings. all that with the scarves, beanies, jackets, and boots to accommodate the gray skies... i live for it.
z and i stayed up in bed last night, chatting about change. actually, it was more like me confessing my fears about the changes that are headed our way in the next couple of years and him assuring me it would be okay. change, for me, is a frightening thing. i can't help but feel like i'm being swallowed by an overwhelming wave. i'm certain it's a control thing and i'm trying to overcome it and embrace change as the inevitable hap it is.. but it takes a lot of internal preparation. we talked until i was reassured enough to fall asleep.
i'm sure the fear will creep up again but with my favorite season just right around the corner, i'm hoping that i'll be reminded to be thankful for all the joy that surrounds me in the present.. and to bask in it while it's here, under my nose.
happy friday, everyone. have a joyful and blessed weekend, xxxoo.
