A Seasonal Shift

With change comes gratitude.

Although the afternoon temperature in Alabama shows no sign of mercy, there is a palpable shift taking place.

A sweater is needed for the early morning walk with the dog.

The crunch of leaves is easy to hear during the quiet moments on Rainbow Mountain.

It almost seems like the pace of life slows for just a millisecond.

Fall festivals, apple orchards, spooky decorations, Friday Night Lights. A great book in the morning and a bonfire at night. Moments that someday will be the keenest memories.

For the state of Alabama, Football.

For my family, adventures.

For me, reflection.

May this new season find us all filled with hope.
