Change of Seasons

It's that time of year when the leaves go from green to gold and the world goes from light to darkness. I know many people look forward to the holidays and the cooler weather, but this change scares me to be honest. I don't do well with winter. Sometimes I am able to hold myself together, but I can remember whole years where this part of the year was spent curled up in bed waiting for spring. I don't like that. It is destructive and wasteful.

So I fight. Fight to keep myself together. Exercising regularly helps. As does having trips and fun activities planned. Last year was really good despite a harsh winter in DC. As winter approaches I strive to be mindful and aware and do everything in my power to fight the temptation to get under the covers and never come out.

But if I can't fight it anymore, I sure am glad to have my Kindle!
