Happy Fall Y'all

One of the reasons I like living in this area is the change of seasons.  With today being the first day of Autumn, it’s time to swap out spring/summer with my fall/winter stuff!  Fall is my favorite season so I actually already started (I usually pull out the Christmas stuff after Thanksgiving so I want to get as much “fall time” as I can). In case you are wondering, the items I swap out are: bed linens, towels, rugs (layering rugs is a great way to add warmth to a room and get double use out of a rug), curtains (including shower), sofa slipcovers, and pillows (pillow covers are awesome and it’s probably no surprise I get mine on Amazon!).  I am mixing things up this time.  Since I ordered new slipcovers, I’m not hanging the brown curtains I usually put up - I’m keeping the white ones. (They are heavier than the brown ones and match the slipcovers better so I’m telling myself they are “winter white”.)

Another reason I like season changes is because there is a sense of “anew” in the air, an opportunity to start fresh when a new season rolls around. This is especially true for me.  And, on this day of equinox – where day and night are balanced – I finally feel a sense of balance in my life as well.  Before, it seemed very topsy-turvey.  Now, I feel balanced between looking ahead (finding a job and the new adventure that holds) and focusing on the now (getting my TH ready to rent, completing my online class, working on my blog, etc).

Perhaps this season change will be an opportunity for you to find balance and start anew???  If not, Winter starts December 22nd.  😊
