Fall is my favorite time of the year because of the beautiful colors that come with it. I always enjoy going for walks and just looking at all of the different colored trees. This Fall Break I stayed at home all week with my family. My sister went to Louisville for the week so the house was slightly quieter than usual. I really just got to sit back and look how beautiful things are, life. Our family room has no blinds or anything covering our windows so I love sitting in the big old chair and just watching the sun rise and the sun set, it’s absolutely gorgeous. One of the days my dog and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I was very surprised that she actually walked because she usually just sits in the middle of the street and doesn’t get up until we turn around to go back home. But this time we made it around the block a couple of times. While we were walking I was just staring at the amazing trees and watching the leaves fall to the ground one at a time. You can’t but wonder what the purpose of a leaf is because all they do is grow on the tree and then fall off and die. That doesn’t seem like a very exciting life, yes you get to look all pretty for a season but after that you just dry up and die. I think I could look at my life in the same way. I am growing right now and when I begin to turn colors then that am me fulfilling my purpose on this earth. Once I fall and dry up to die then my life was surely well spent if it was meant that my time on earth has come to an end. Leaves are a weird concept and its crazy how there is never one that is the same. They are all very unique like everyone in this world. The fall is my favorite and I wish that it lasted just a bit longer because I really do enjoy looking out the window and just admiring the beautiful colors.
