Falling Up...

I absolutely love Fall. It is by far my favorite season. I love the crisp weather, the smell in the air, foot ball season (I'm going to the Utah game tomorrow! Go Utes!) and of course the changing colors.



But really. There is something about Fall that just clicks with me. For some reason Fall to me seems like a new beginning, a fresh start. And I realize that most people would think Spring is the new beginning... what with all the new flowers and plants growing and what not, but really I think the beginning of something new starts with a change or an ending of something else, which is what Fall is all about. The ending of summer leads to the beginning of school. The changing of the colors on the tree's later leads to new leaves.

Change can be a very scary thing sometimes, it can make you feel like you are falling... but more often then not it leads to new growth and new experiences. I try to embrace change as much as I can, which a lot of times isn't so easy to do, but there usually isn't anything I can do to stop the change so why not just enjoy the ride and see how things turn out?

Anywho. I'm not sure how my blog about Fall got turned into a blog about change but there you have it. I'm excited for the season and looking forward to taking some pictures of all the change in colors! :) Life is going good. Nothing too exciting to report! I hope all are well out there in blogger land!

Till next time!

MY wish is YOUR command.

Now wouldn't THAT be nice.

Though to be honest, in the world that we live in today, isn't that a lot of our thinking? 'I want this, and I want it now'. Now some of you may be thinking, I'm not like that at all... but think about it. Have you ever gotten impatient at a fast foot restaurant that wasn't FAST enough for you? Ever gotten mad at your computer for being too slow? Gotten mad at someone on the freeway because they were going below the speed of 70 mph. I know that I have, and if you NEVER have... well then you are a saint. But for the majority of us, it's all about instant gratification, sadly. And though we may not be thinking the exact words a lot of the time we are in the frame of mind that "MY wish is YOUR command". But as the saying goes patience is a virtue. And just for fun's sake I thought I'd show you a video where impatience, while funny, can turn on you:



Gotta love those old ladies huh? ;) Baha.

So anywho, this blog is dedicated to the word 'patience'. And mainly MY patience, since I don't really know who is reading this blog or presume to say that who ever IS reading this blog needs to work on their patience. And more specifically it is my goal to be more patience with things. I've already started working on my impatience with driving and I can see the difference it has made in my life and my happiness. My next goal is to not get so frustrated when my computer is not going as fast as I would like. At least it's going, right? :) And besides, getting frustrated or mad at my computer is not going to make it go any faster, so why fret?

So there is my goal for the week, and yes I realize that it's nothing too big, but hey... baby steps my friend, baby steps. :) (Name this movie: "Baby steps to the door... baby steps to the elevator...")

Until next time! :)
