today. 10.4.08

It is almost exactly this time of year, every single year that I wish I was travelling to this place. (reference picture a la derecha.) Right now, I want to be there. This place seems full of magic and enchantment during all seasons, but autumn brings special appeal of life and breadth. What is this place I talk about so fondly? Pennsylvania. I don't know why, but I have a specific drawing to that state to which I have never actually travelled. Yes, I want to travel the world and visit every state and speak more than one language, but today, I want to live in Pennsylvania. Today, I want to experience the golden and orange leaves and feel the crispness of fall air.

This fall season always gives me the feeling of accomplishment, inspiration, motivation, devotion, movement. This morning, I felt moved. I am enchanted by the colors and the temperature of the air outside. I just love fall. Let me tell you why:
  1. Football
  2. Carving Pumpkins
  3. Corn Mazes
  4. The beginning of Christmas decorations in stores
  5. the colors of the leaves
  6. Jumping in piles of leaves
  7. weather suitable for all types of clothes (i.e. shorts, jackets, long sleeved t-shirts, flip flops, jeans)
  8. Thanksgiving
