Hello, Autumn

September begins.

In nature, fall seems depressing. Leaves fall. Plants die. The world grows cold for winter.

Not for me. To me, fall brings a certain comfort few other things can bring.

The clean-start and joy of yet another semester. My next to last fall of school. Ever.

Crisp, cool, refreshing runs that cleanse both my mind and my body.

Football. Professional and college. Need I say more?

Thanksgiving. Precious family and friends. Remembering the uncountable blessings that have been showered upon me.

The predictability, the comfort of fall are more welcome this year than ever. As I adjust to life after college, even the little things that can be expected and planned for serve as anchors. They solidify that I will adjust. That life goes on for us all, myself included. That the beautiful colors of fall can continue to color my life, even though I'm not in Waco.

So, Welcome Autumn. I'm glad you're here.
