Topic September 6th, 2009: End of summer, beginning of fall

There are many great and wonderful things about summer;
- Lounging
- Watching all the 'great' tv shows
- being with family
- sleeping as long as you want
- farmers markets
- everyone seeming so carefree
- being warm

Negatives about the end of summer
- back to school
- back to work
- no lounging at the lake
- endless sleep deprivation until next summer
- knowing there is a struggle ahead of trying to hold out until sweet summer freedom

Positives about end of summer / fall
- that sweet feeling of the crisp breeze blowing in over your bed, through the sheets and tickling your toes
- pumpkin patches
- cider and donuts
- little kids trick or treating
- the knowing that soon it will be christmas!
- crackling leaves
- bonfires
- being cold outside but not too cold

When comparing the two the end of summer is really the beginning of a new time. A new set of experiences, good and bad. The key, I have found of going trough life is not to exactly live day to day, but to look closely at all the good things life has to offer and not dreading the negatives. One little thing can make a whole day great. One crunch of fallen leaves under your feet can take away all the dread of marching into work that day. Just one thing.

I don't know if I make much sense to anyone reading this.. I hope someday I can make an impact on someone with my thoughts, not just myself.
