It's crazy how the beginning of Fall makes me feel more nostalgic than any other time of year. It even beats out Christmas for me. I get that cozy jeans and sweater feeling of back to school comfort. Back to familiarity, friends, routine. Back to Monday through Friday predictability.
In highschool and college it was a brand new year to make things happen. New classes, teachers, sports teams. It also meant new chances, socially. Getting back into the swing of your comfortable social life, and also meant the prospective of meeting new boys and seeing the ones you had your eye on last year.
The season brings back all the warm romantic feelings of those times. New love that comes with the end of summer fun. Coming home to find flowers waiting at my door. Being kept warm by an extra strong hug and holding one close.. Sitting together in a car for hours at night despite the bite of cold in the air. All sorts of warm fuzzies.
Now, as a Mom, it's pumpkin picking and hayrides. Trick or treating baking cookies. Pink noses and pom pom hats.
Fall is just about here. Ready for new beginnings. Looking forward to seeing what's to come.
i like this and i'm in absolute agreement.
