I long for the fall colors, as everything seems dull compared to the brightness of the fall.

I long for a little cold all day and the urge to take longer walks.

I need to snap every photo because each color is brighter than the next, and I get lost in the colors, and time just passes me by.

Relax and give me a break because I’ve been running around too long.

And I feel like no matter what I did, nothing was happening or moving forward.

So here I am, putting in the work and taking the time to rest.

It is time to rest, and I know tomorrow I will pour it all out .

But for now, I need sleep, as I have fallen asleep too many times today just trying to get this done.

I know I am on others’ time as well, but right now, I must rest and be present for myself.

It’s time to regain my sleep and energy and show up shining, as I have always wanted to.

It’s time to be the phoenix again, to rise from the ashes of my old self, to embrace this new journey, and to know that I am enough and that I got this.

Starting to feel like fall in the mornings

And it feels so good to have a nice cup of tea and see little hints of fall in the leaves.

Oh, the joy of feeling a little cold here and there and enjoying the feeling of not feeling so hot and sweaty.

It’s nice to feel a little chill and warm up under a blanket in the mornings so you can enjoy being outside.

To put on layers and just change it up a bit.

I love colors and the feeling fall brings, and im counting down the days when fall is entirely here.
