Like the title? I hope so. Don't get it? Look up those five words in google. Still don't get it? You don't know me well enough yet.
Anyways, hello. I wrote this first paragraph back when I created my blog in 2009, amazing how it still can relate:
"As I begin to see the changing colors of the leaves, I also begin to reflect on my year. What did I do? Where did I travel? Who did I date? What new inside jokes do my best friends and I have? Time flies. I wish I could say that I am excited for fall to come along with the changing of seasons, but I absolutely love summer, and I never want it to end. Fall is beautiful, but just reminds me of what is to come, when it gets to winter all I see is ice and cold. I live in Minnesota, I should be used to bundling and just sucking it up, but I can't seem to get over how much I just wish it was still summer when I was free to lay in the sun..."
[funny, I just moved to Nashville, guess I solved that problem for a while.]

Now that we have been able to fast forward two years, we're still seeing fall colors change, time still flies, and there is still much to look back on about this year. How have I grown? What in my life has changed? Where am I looking to be next year at this time? So much life happens. It is insane to me how quickly it can travel. Blink your eyes, and it's a new season, even a new year.
A maple leaf is so distinctive because of its shape. Not only do the Canadians recognize it as their nation's symbol, but the rest of the world knows it from any other leaf out there. It's officially fall when the maple leaves change colors, and the crunching of the leaves is a benchmark of the path to winter.
Today my point is this, where do you want to see yourself a year from now? We know how time flies, so if you want to see a change in yourself when you reflect on the past year, you better start now. Before you know it, another year will have gone by, and you'll be looking back on the future (if that makes any sense.)
I hope this finds you at a time when you can relate and take something from it. Blessings always & much love,
