Last week was heavy. I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that. I’ve spent some time over the past few weeks contemplating the changing of the seasons, how my seasons in life are altering me.

I reminded myself, and am now reminding all of you, to embrace the song of fall. Take a moment in the evening to look up and enjoy glorious colors. Be grateful for the crisp air and frosted leaves under your feet. Relish in your morning cup of coffee. Notice all the beauty around you, especially the little things you're prone to skip over. Find a good radio station, play it in your car with the windows down. Don't dwell on the pain of the past, but savor that there is a new season just around the corner. Read a good poem. And, above all, sing the song of fall as loudly as you can!
