Everything Changes

By John Holland

The beautiful fall season is now upon us and it’s always a reminder for me, that like the seasons, everything changes. Children and young adults are back at school, many for the first time, and others returned to meet new teachers and classmates. In some parts of the country, the trees are exploding with color as everything changes with the season, the weather is cooler, and there is a sense of crispness is in the air. With fall, I feel more invigorated and more alert.

 
Everything Changes Over the Summer…

Over the summer, many of us relax as we celebrate the warmer weather and have a tendency to pull away from our normal schedule. Exercising takes a back seat to sitting on the beach. Our diets and eating habits fall into a summer pattern as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, and fast food becomes easier to eat and prepare. Everything in the summer season speaks to us about relaxing and vacations. But when the summer is over, many people are sad or upset that the season and our lives are about to change once again, as nothing remains the same.

 
Everything Changes Again in the Fall…

The fall is one of my favorite seasons. It somehow seems to get me back on track and focused on what needs to be done, and what changes have to be made in different areas of my life.

I find that during this time, I like to change my style a little as I update my wardrobe and experiment with different colors and fabrics that I haven’t worn in the past. I work on changing my food choices and begin to research new recipes, and seek out new dining experiences with healthy foods from around the world that I’ve never tried before. I look around my condo and get rid of as much clutter as I can, or add to the décor with new curtains or even a small piece of new furniture, or refresh the plants that have been there for years.
