Can it really be October already?! I absolutely love Fall. It is my favorite season of the year. I am very much enjoying the cooler weather, but I must admit that the past few days have not been what I was expecting the beginning of the season to be.

Instead of the beautiful sunny day graced by the breeze that feels so good, it has been overcast, cloudy, drizzly and a little too cool to enjoy being outside.

While that brings feelings of disappointment, as well as the desire to sit in the recliner snuggled up with a good blanket all day, I have chosen not to give in. I have been busy accomplishing things inside the house today and now as the day is nearing the end I feel very good about what I have done.

Isn’t this the way it is with life sometimes? When those problems arise and we find ourselves feeling disappointed, hurt and maybe even hopeless, we begin to think about just sitting down and giving up on life. Or maybe we run to that place of comfort rather than facing the issues head-on and moving forward.

Allow me to encourage you to choose the better way. Don’t give in to the negative. Go ahead, take that first step in the direction you know you should go. It becomes much easier with each step and it feels so good at the end of the day!

Make the right choice so you can begin now to live! . . . your life to the fullest.
