\"autumn-lights\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I refuse to ignore autumn. I refuse to go from Halloween straight to Christmas.<\/p>\n

So let’s give a cheer for this wonderful time of year. . . Autumn.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Pause and enjoy the wonderful golden light of autumn.<\/p>\n

Recently, I looked everywhere for a garland of fabric autumn leaves to decorate the archway between my kitchen and dining room.\u00a0 None of the usual suspects had them in stock.\u00a0 “Oh, you missed it by a week,” said a store clerk amidst Christmas decorations . . . on November first.<\/p>\n

A friend told me about gluten-free oatmeal with quinoa at Raley’s. Sounded good, so I headed there.\u00a0I strolled the seasonal section, as I had been doing in every store, looking for that elusive autumnal garland.\u00a0 I was drawn to the shelves filled with orange color. Could it be?\u00a0 Could my autumn garland be in Raley’s?\u00a0 Eureka!\u00a0I bought four garlands of golden brown autumn leaves laced with twinkling lights.\u00a0 Twinkling lights!\u00a0And autumn leaves. I’m in heaven.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Prompt: Write about your favorite season.<\/p>\n
