I feel as if fall is flying by. I was driving the other day to pick something up for my Mom's birthday and I was just a few streets away from my apartment but it as if I had entered farm country (amazing what 5 minutes can do). It was a crisp fall day, partly sunny, drizzly here and there, but the colors of the leaves on the trees were beautiful. It struck me for the first time in a while how quickly my life had been moving. I hadn't taken the time to just stop and look around at the beauty and wonder around me. I know how cliche this all sounds, it sounded that way in my head, but I decided to put it out there anyways. Constantly going between work and school and random other errands I was usually driving in the dark, and when it was daytime I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me because I was thinking about the multiple other things I had to get done during the rest of the day. It was nice to be reminded that there are beautiful things around to be thankful for.
I'm fighting a cold, still battling side effects, and everything just feels weird. It's been another hard week but it's difficult to explain and not really worth trying. I'm looking forward to a Halloween party with friends tomorrow night that I have vowed to go to for a while no matter how I am feeling. I haven't seen most of my friends in a few weeks so that will change. I'm going to try to get myself healthy and be more positive and find the little things to make me smile, like the color of the leaves.
