I wrote an entry back in March about the change of the seasons. About how nice it was to have the drastic shifts we do here on the East Coast because they always give you something to look forward to. I'll add to that by saying that the season I look forward to the most is Fall.
I love nearly everything about it. The shifting colors of the leaves. The perfect, temperate daytime temperatures and the slightly brisk evenings (and the resultant relief from hot summer days.) The coming promise of another holiday season. The perceived slowdown in the pace of life. The end to garden work, yard work, weeding and mowing. The start of the new television season. The ability to sit outside and read a book during the day on the weekend and not sweat or freeze your giblets off.
There's a lot to love, and I list it all in my upcoming best-seller, All the Things I Love, Why I Love Them, and Why You Should Care, chapter 276.

The Change of Season
Change is good. Is gives a break from monotony. It gives you hope of something better. Which is why I like living on the East Coast, where the change of season is dramatic. I like the fact that you can look forward to the relief from Summer's heat that Fall and Winter bring. And then again, when you begin to tire of Winter's icy teeth, you get to fantasize about Spring and Summer. You get to look forward to having to wear a jacket and then a coat, and then getting to throw both off in favor of short sleeves.
By balancing two opposites against each other, you notice the positives in each. And I guess I like the cyclical nature of the whole thing. One vast wheel turning infinitely from one extreme to the other, completely ignorant of and indifferent to our little human dramas.
It's comforting to know that we're not that important.
