Fall Challenge

Try something different, no self analysis at all, just fun. Fall is the perfect season to do all kinds of fun, no focus on fixing. I used to do photo challenges all the time, a daily challenge to take a picture of something specific. I liked the interpretation of the photo shot expected. I am hoping fall won’t be as wet as this past summer. Local travel, outside events, hikes are a little more comfortable without searing heat.

When you think of fall, keep in mind it goes right until four days before Christmas! What comes to mind for you? When I close my eyes I see low sunsets, beautiful leaves that light up pathways through the forest. I picture pumpkins, apples, fresh baked foods, gatherings, Christmas vendors. Be sure to get your windows open!! I have already promised myself, I will not be staying on the couch like last year and eating. It seemed to be a year of rest, maybe I needed it. I feel vim and vigor returning, an adrenaline that has come back! I’m alive and free, kicking off the apprehension.

I don’t know where I disappeared to, but I am back. My pockets are full of strategies to just be me. I am empowered, you repeat that! I am empowered! Getting on my shoes right now, stomping through my doubts, regaining my passions. Adjusting my sight line, cranking the music, shouting to the rooftops, let’s do this! Life is full of highs and lows, you seize those highs and you bounce to the next one. Let nobody or anything steal your happiness!! Life is too short, you spend your childhood waiting to be grown, wishing your young adult life to be young again, then one day you are in the moment and it’s okay, everything is okay! Your skin fits, no more hiding, you have a voice and a purpose… whatever it is, do it!!
