Crisp Autumn Air


So, a lot of my friends have been posting blogs about gratitude. I felt that I should as well, especially since I am so happy due to the many blessings in my life.

Today, I am particularly grateful for crisp autumn air. I love walking out the front door and feeling the nip in the air. I feel as though there is an extra bounce in my step when there is a bite in the air, and not just because I am hurrying to get back inside.

In addition to the cool air, I love the crunch of the frosty grass and brightly colored leaves. No matter how many times I experience the change of seasons, I am always overcome with the beauty of it. Heavenly Father can paint a truly beautiful scene. At times like these, I wonder how I can ever be blue, when I am surrounded by so much beauty. All I need to do is step outside to remember how amazing life truly is.

Haircut

I got my haircut. It was kind of out of the blue, but I am really glad I did. My friend was interviewing at a salon to get a job cutting hair there. She had to bring someone in and cut her hair there. I volunteered. I really like my new haircut, but it will take some getting used to.
