Another Autumn season is here.\u00a0 Falling leaves, pumpkins, cooler weather and soon Halloween.<\/p>\n
I wrote a \u201cstory\u201d in second grade on two folded sheets of non-bleached paper that my mother had saved for me.\u00a0 I kept those wrinkled sheets of paper for over forty years.<\/p>\n
The story was about my favorite season.\u00a0 Now, if you know me you know that I absolutely LOVE summer and cannot stand winter.\u00a0 But in second grade, living in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, my favorite season was fall ( aka autumn).\u00a0 That\u2019s right. Cooler weather and all!<\/p>\n
I remember I had drawn an orange leaf.\u00a0 Orange.\u00a0 My least favorite color.\u00a0 Orange.\u00a0 The only color that I can hardly stand.\u00a0 But there it was in my second grade story.\u00a0 An orange leaf representing my favorite season.<\/p>\n
What is your favorite season?<\/p>\n
Has your favorite season ever changed?<\/p>\n
Is your favorite color the same as your childhood favorite color?<\/p>\n
Are there other likes and dislikes in your life that have changed over the years?<\/p>\n
It has been said that change is life.\u00a0 Like the seasons our likes and dislikes can change as we age.<\/p>\n
I still love those brilliant colors as the deciduous tree leaves change into their autumn shades.\u00a0 Cooler evenings can bring campfires, hot coco and s\u2019mores.<\/p>\n
But truth be told, I can enjoy those fires, hot coco and s\u2019mores just as much in July at the beach!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
