fall excites me.
something about the crisp air makes me wake up every morning with butterflies.  the thought of perhaps being able to see my breath when i walk outside is so enthralling.  i love seeing blue skies but still wearing my boots.
i don't know what it is about fall.  every year i get this good-anxious feeling.  the feeling that revives in me memories of other falls, memories of other seasons.  it reminds me that life is all about changes, and i love knowing that i have to make this season new.  that this fall can't be like last fall or the one before that.  that if i am to live this life with the kind of integrity and attention that it deserves, i have to seek the new.  every day.
so as the california leaves stay the same, my mind turns over a new leaf.  this season brings a skip to my step and an excited shiver up my spine.  i love the company i am keeping this season, those eyes that light up my own.  i love the challenges that are being brought my way, even though they may seem insurmountable at certain moments.  and i love that i am gaining new perspective on life.  that i am being constantly reminded that seasons all flow into one life, and that i have to keep working for a future.
i'm addicted to the rumpus, if you will.
so here's to uncertainty & seeking the beauty in it all.  to caprices, & seeking the comfort in the now.
[& to afternoons at disneyland that i simply cannot get enough of.]
what a whim.
