Autumnal Equinox…It’s Heeeere.
Wow, Autumn already. Today officially marks the first day of fall. The Autumnal Equinox marks a balance — where the days and nights are just about the same length.
I could use a little balance in my life. Lately I’ve had a constant sense of feelling off kilter just a little bit. I’m not sure what’s causing it. Maybe I’m afraid to delve too deep into the cause.
What you don’t know…blah, blah blah.
Anyway…
I’m not sure how I feel about fall being here already. Normally I love fall. The beauty of the changing colors, the crisp scent of the air, the maddening desire to bake apple crisp…I usually love all that.
But for some reason, this year I’ve been hoping that autumn would hold off just a little while longer.
Maybe it’s because here in Indiana, we had a late start to summer. I remember still being bundled up in warmer clothes towards the end of May. We didn’t get our pool set up until sometime in June. It seems like summer barely poked her head in the door before taking off again.
I know I’ll adjust. I’ll eventually slip out of this funk I’m in and embrace the coming of fall like I usually do. It just may take a little longer than I’d like.
Maybe a good batch of apple crisp will do the trick.
