Fall: Nature's New Beginning

There are a lot of people that say spring is the best time for a new beginning. And there are others who believe the winter and ringing in the new year are just fine. I'd like to propose the argument that the season of fall is indeed the best time for starting anew. I'm not entirely sure if it's because I've always gone back to school around this season, but something about fall just feels right for making new changes. Look at the weather during fall. The trees loose their leaves, the plants turn brown and go away. The old leaves to make way for the new. Which would make you think that once again spring is really where change begins, but that's not where it really starts.

Change begins when the old starts to die and go away. You can't have change without something going away. That's what happens in the fall. Everything that was once old starts to disappear for the new. Nature has been something that has inspired people for centuries to make different decisions. Maybe that's one of the reasons why fall feels so right for change.

From the leaves disappearing to the colors going from bright to dull, everything around us is transforming. So it makes motivates us to change right along with it. You can even feel it during the summer months. You've got to soak up that last little bit of sun before everything changes once again. That word is coming up a lot, huh?

Change.

Hopefully it doesn't frighten you because change is something that's always going to happen, come rain or shine. We see it again and again each new season.

It's that time for a new beginning and you can even feel it in the air. The brisk chill that is felt from the wind whipping around you brings the spark of a new promise. We all become different people as we move on in life, it's just natural. Take the advice you feel from the season and make those changes that are hidden deep down in the pit of your gut. They say you're gut is never wrong, anyway.

So go ahead and make those changes you've always been wanting to make. Start that new excessive program because it makes you feel amazing. Go for that new career because you feel drawn to it and it's something you've always loved. There is nothing wrong with making transitions, especially in a season like fall. It's bound to happen anyway, so why not just go ahead and do it now?

Become that better person that you know you can be. If it helps any, know that I believe you can too.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
