I just can't believe that in one week we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and then Christmas "season" has "officially" begun (although the folks at Target and Walmart seem to think that Christmas begins on November 1st). What happened to the fall? Maybe it's because we didn't really have much of a fall this year in Atlanta, or maybe it is because I've been crazy busy trying to juggle work, kids, and a killer commute… but somewhere along the way, my favorite season has snuck past me and I think I missed it.
As I look out of the window at work, I see that the trees are finally in their fall finery, beautiful shades of red, gold and a not-that-beautiful drought-induced brown. So, now fall is here… a week before Thanksgiving!
I wish we could slow things down … find time to relish this changing of the seasons, rather than racing headlong into the holidays. Savor the coolness in the air, sit and sip some hot cider as we watch the leaves fall.
But, alas, that's not to be. Duty calls and the rat race goes on.
