One of my favorite play on words is that I was "volun-told" that I was going to do something. Everytime I say it, someone laughs and says they never thought about it that way. When you sit down and really think about it, when was the last time you genuinely volunteered for something that would take you out of your comfort zone or that you knew you wouldn't like? If you're like me, you didn't volunteer, you waited until someone point blank asked you to help...or as I like to say, "volun-told" you.

As soon as summer ends everyone gets nostalgic, days become shorter, the sun starts to lower its temperature with its rays. But one of the best seasons of all waits for us. The hot, sunny days fade away giving space to a cool, breezy air that surrounds us, letting us put long sleeves and jackets on. We can see the landscape changing, the green leaves of the summer months turn slowly into different, beautiful, deep, bright, and warm colors. Wherever we turn, we are captured and surrounded by orange, red, and yellow leaves, an enchanting landscape that leaves us speechless for its perfect beauty. If we walk under numerous colorful trees we are swept up by the charming landscape, by the noise of the large amount of dry leaves on the streets, that it seems as if we are walking onto a colorful path that will take us into a magical world.

Have you ever stopped to think and admire the perfection of nature and its extreme beauty?
