October's already made her exit, leaving only the two lovely sisters November and December here to dance and shine in their own beauty with deep hues of orange, red, and gold. I can hardly believe how this year has flown.
Sometimes it grieves me the way that in spite of all my efforts to slow down and enjoy life to the very fullest, it still seems to being hurtling past. I'm not dreading the passing of another year, but I'm also not trying to rush it.
Sometimes it takes all my mental fortitude to remember that I can't control things, that I can't make time speed up when things are stressful or slow down when things are good.
I cling to certain moments of seasons in life far too long, like those last crunchy leaves clinging desperately to the tree when all the others have gone.
I have to remind myself to Stop. Breathe. I try to remind myself that I can learn a valuable lesson from this season. Which is that sometimes the greatest beauty comes from letting go, learning to fall with grace and take my time to enjoy the ride.
