It's Getting Cold...

Sunday, October 21, 2012

When I went on a walk today, it was quite brisk outside. The wind was blowing and the coldness embedded itself deep within me. It always starts to make me a lot more sad once the season of sun leaves and the cold, dark winter days replace it. It is one of those feelings which I mainly despise because although the colors of fall take me back to a time of adventure and warmth, the deep coldness reminds me that the end of yet another year is around the corner. Therefore, I begin to contemplate all that I have accomplished and failed to accomplish during the year and years past and what I may or not accomplish as I get increasingly older each year. As I made my way heading Northeast to the Knowledge Center, I started thinking about how nice it would be to lay in my warm comfy clothes next to the fireplace at home surrounded by my family. My spirits were all of sudden lifted by the realization that soon I would be with my family. As cold as the weather and feelings within me get with the season, my family will always be that part of me that makes me feel like there is nothing that could possibly make me feel more whole or happy. Then on my right I saw a tree that I had taken pictures by only a few days earlier. It was not as beautiful because there was now an ugly bald spot and a patch of leaves that had turned brown and greenish. The other day it was a perfect fall red and the leaves were equally distributed. It made me sad again because it made me remember that time eventually distorts even the most beautiful occurrences in nature... Really, I was so cold that I don't even remember most of my other crazed thoughts.
