Autumn Makes Life Better

Let me tell ya; I'm lovin' this weather!

There's something about going outside and feeling that cool breeze sweep through the air that makes me all giddy inside. When I'm asked what my favorite season is, it's always the one we're in. Then, I'll think about it and narrow it down to either spring or fall. After a long hot summer, the thought of sweaters and scarves seems so wonderful! Then, after a long cold winter, feeling the warmth of spring makes me never want to wear a jacket again. Over all, I'm a sucker for a cool night, a warm hoodie, and a perfect boy.

Fall also means Pumpkin Patches with this handsome fellow. My favorite! 

Yesterday, my plan was to clean my room. It's in much need of some TLC. Unfortunately, my love for the weather overrode my want for an organized room. I went upstairs and thought things would go smoother if I got little crates to store things I don't use in. So, I left my room, got in the car, and drove to Walmart. I had the window's down, sunroof open, and radio up - perfect, right? Until I got stuck in a parking lot {meaning major traffic on Princess Anne}. Thanks to my handy-dandy-iPhone, I pulled up my maps and followed all the connecting streets which took me through five different neighborhoods. At least I was moving!

An hour later {yes, an hour}, I pulled into the Walmart parking lot. As I was getting out of the car, I reached to get my purse and saw that I had forgotten my wallet. After driving an hour to get to the nicer Walmart to get my organizational goodness, I didn't have my wallet. Bummer. I went inside anyway to see what I would end up getting, and then I left.

The sky was gorgeous and the traffic wasn't nearly as bad going home. There's a Christian radio station that I just started listening to called Air1 {97.7 fm} that plays a lot of music you've never heard before or haven't heard in a long time. KLOVE is awesome, but they play the same songs over and over and over again. Anyway, I was driving down the road when a Skillet song came on called 'One Day Too Late'. It's fantastic. The lyrics to the chorus are:

Today, I'm gonna try a little harder,

Gonna make every minute last longer,

Gonna learn to forgive and forget

'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it.

Today, I'm gonna love my enemies,

Reach out to somebody who needs me,

Make a change, make the world a better place

'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late.

 

Well, it's be a great couple of days. Complete with being with my favorite little man.
