Feeling like a Kid again

Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't like the cold. I will put the heat on hades in a second if I feel I an inch of cold. So with that being said, I was not looking forward to the cold weather that seemingly creeped in, and .... out of NO where! What's funny is that on Friday evening, it was cold and rainy, and I was about to catch the bus home from work to pick up some items and go back to get my car... I was thinking in my mind, "What's the last possible time I can make it to the bus stop so that I won't have to stand outside in the cold for a long time and wait for the bus?" Some how, I managed to catch the bus home and back without having to stand outside for more than five minutes, between both bus rides, and did not feel cold. I was so proud of myself! I was like, "Now what, take that cold (lol)!"

But yesterday, something came to my mind that made be laugh and remember the number 1 thing that I like about the Fall. I was walking to my car like I was on a mission and suddenly heard a sound underneath my feet. It was loud and crunchy! I kept walking and without even noticing own reactions, I noticed that I liked the crunchy sound of the leaves underneath my feet. Even though I was in a rush, I slowed down just a bit to crunch more leaves. I totally felt like a kid again!

Here's what I learned: I was focused on it being so cold, that I totally forgot about my favorite part of Fall; crunching leaves! And while I will probably never enjoy the cold weather, I can begin to set my mind on the things I do enjoy about this season and those things remind me of being a kid again!
