Autumn

A few weeks ago I wrote in my "computer journal", a document in TextEdit about how excited I was about fall and winter coming. The computer died and I lost it all, but I'm going to try again. Even writing about it makes me happy.

My favorite seasons are coming. With Fall, actually, I like Autumn better.. with Autumn comes:

1. Rehearsal for new dance performances and the excitement of auditions, costume fittings, and choreography learning.

2. My birthday. I'm turning sixteen in eight days.. :)

3. The leaves changing and falling. I can't wait to make big leaf piles and jump into them while taking pictures. (Kathrine and I did that last year, and I still smile when I look in the backyard.)

4. Curling up with a book and some chai tea while it's raining outside and the wind is blowing. I'm so excited.

5. Hanging out with my family. Remembering old memories and making new ones. It's going to be great.

Today, not much is required of me. I've done my geometry, fed the dog, and now I get to sit around in front of a fire in the fireplace. Bliss.
