The Quiet Moments

There is a subtle shift that happens this time of year where muted colors turn brilliant and the air chills gradually until it stings your nose with every breath. It is in those moments and with those changes that I find a level of creativity that is unmatched. New ideas spring up and begin unfurling the branches that will create the bones of stories. I struggle to keep up and continue to work on the ever increasing work load of writing.

In the past weeks, I have experienced many ideas that have been recorded and prepared for future projects. There are many exciting things coming in 2016. Until then, I have found that I love to curl up and enjoy the quiet moments. It allows me to take stock of the present, the past, and the future. I know that sometimes reflections happen near the end of the year, but we are still a ways off from that. And yet, I find myself this cool Autumn day doing just that. I look back through my year with awe and pride.

Even as reflection comes, I am immersed in the excitement for a new year and wondering what it might bring. Perhaps that is the point of today's post. Enjoying life for what it is now and looking forward to the future. There is no room for the past. Keep that in mind as you enjoy your Autumn!
