Thanksgiving...

It feels so strange to have Thanksgiving so close! With the madness of the semester, I haven't had the chance to really get into the spirit of the season. This autumn is sadly lacking time. Time to knit, time to cook, and time to read is nowhere to be found. These things, for which I have usually had time for in the past, are things that help me appreciate the weather, the colors, and the sounds around me.

This issue must be remedied. I will need to make time for a walk in the autumn (almost winter!) wonderland. Then, I will need to find some candles that have the scents of fall. I may have to begin a knitting project. Whether or not it will get finished is another story altogether....

I'm glad for this time in life, even if it is not a "typical" autumn. I have learned so much already, and have met some amazing people. Excitement rises when I realize how close I am to being done with the college part of life, which will then tell me that I'm qualified to do that which I enjoy doing. I can't wait to see family and celebrate this season in their surroundings.
Thanksgiving starts today!
