Autumn is a season of letting go. Release is not loss; it is renewal. My intention this autumn is harvesting habits that will guide me through winter, so that I can blossom in spring. Letting things go that no longer serve me and growing with grace is my goal this season.
Autumn is dark and moody, so I feel right at home this time of year. It’s a time to reap what you sow. Some years bring a bountiful harvest, while others teach you to make do with less. Some years, our built-up routines see us gracefully through the season; others serve as a reminder to release what no longer works and forge a better path.
I look forward to autumn each year because I enjoy a change I can anticipate. Though changing of the seasons is out of my control, it’s always in God’s hands. And so, as each autumn arrives, I am grateful for another opportunity to embrace and enjoy it. This year, I especially intend to slow down and experience all it has to offer.
Every crunchy leaf beneath my feet.
Every bumpy pumpkin along my path.
Every bite of a caramel apple treat.
Every sip of hot coffee on cool mornings.
Every golden sunset behind bare branches.
Every page read on a rainy day.
Every bite of my favorite autumn meals.
Every sweet note of warm cinnamon and vanilla.
Every cozy cuddle under a chunky blanket.
Every fleeting second of the turning year.
