First Days of Fall

For some, the arrival of fall is filled with joy- weather changing, fall colors, falling leaves, and the anticipation of upcoming holidays. For some, fall is filled with sadness related to these same changes in the fall time. Whatever your take may be, being mindful that everyone's anticipation may be different could be helpful while conversing with others during this season of change. 

In addition to rain boots for those of us who do not like wet feet, some nice fall ideas for all could include:

- Cozying up with a book
- Making soups and cooking with the other wonderful produce of the season (squash, brussels sprouts, kale, leeks, and peas for example)
- Hot tea
- A nice cup of cocoa
- Extra time for emotional processing (down time, journaling, taking a stroll for example)
- Movies

Whether it is coping through or celebrating in the fall time, what are some things you enjoy when this time of year comes around?
