I refuse to ignore autumn. I refuse to go from Halloween straight to Christmas.
So let’s give a cheer for this wonderful time of year. . . Autumn.
Before the hectic holidays begin, savor this moment. The slant of the sun casts a soft glow, highlighting fall colors of yellows, burnt oranges, umber and browns.
Pause and enjoy the wonderful golden light of autumn.
Recently, I looked everywhere for a garland of fabric autumn leaves to decorate the archway between my kitchen and dining room. None of the usual suspects had them in stock. “Oh, you missed it by a week,” said a store clerk amidst Christmas decorations . . . on November first.
A friend told me about gluten-free oatmeal with quinoa at Raley’s. Sounded good, so I headed there. I strolled the seasonal section, as I had been doing in every store, looking for that elusive autumnal garland. I was drawn to the shelves filled with orange color. Could it be? Could my autumn garland be in Raley’s? Eureka! I bought four garlands of golden brown autumn leaves laced with twinkling lights. Twinkling lights! And autumn leaves. I’m in heaven.
It’s the small things that make life a big, wonderful, full event. Embrace life. Enjoy Autumn! Savor each special moment, no matter how small or big, how simple or wondrous. Embrace whatever or whoever brings you joy.
