The mixed feelings we can have about this closer step toward winter can be strong or minimal, positive or negative. I like to look at fall as a most beautiful season of a year. As you have come to know about me, colors affect my mood. Fall shows so many colors that I get up excited each morning wondering which colors will enter my eyes. Can any of you readers experience this as I do? How about sharing your thoughts?
I actually look forward to taking out my seasonal clothing and returning my summer wardrobe to storage. The switch makes my winter items feel new. My midweight clothing articles make cool days and evenings comfortable against the winds and darkness. I constantly find myself looking forward. Perhaps you prefer living in the moment? But for me, going forward to the next month, I love choosing a costume for Halloween, planning with friends about, which neighborhoods we will stroll through by dark.
Still going forward, the November days are shorter, cooler, and outright less exciting. Early December is downright tough for me, but by December 21, my attitude changes and the days start to get longer and Christmas is right around the corner. Have I earned my continued reputation as an eternal optimist? Any comments to share?
