It's Coming

Oh, fall--I feel it today. It's about 75 degrees outside, but the air has that QUALITY, you know? I look forward to the fall like I look forward to my birthday, to seeing people I love, to holidays, to starting over, to a fresh sheet of paper, to the feeling of writing with a newly sharpened pencil. I have a good feeling when I think of fall. It's like a light turning itself on. Yep, you read that right--I feel like E.T. when I think of fall.

These are the things I want to do this fall:

I want to make these.
And read this again.
And bake that.
And walk here.
And write there.
And see this.
And draw here.
And visit her.
And drink coffee with him.
And maybe, just maybe, go see them.

Yep, it's a good time. I don't think I am the only one ready. Are you?

Yes, you're right -- that feeling of Bittersweet Optimism comes into the air in the fall, and it can be very tempting to just succumb to it and relax. But here's something I wonder. I have lived in the Northeastern U.S. for my entire life (Massachusetts & Pennsylvania), so I do not have ANY idea what the Fall is like in, say, Texas, or Arizona. How is fall for you when you are in California? One of the best things this time of year in Mass. is that there is a Jamaica Plain World's Fair in early September. Here you can experience some of the most vibrant energy on the planet!: http://www.jpworldsfair.org/home.html
