I've been meaning to post something like this for the last several days - to share the good news! Thursday I woke up early without knowing why, and felt like running (which I've been struggling with since my arrival)... as soon as I got outside I knew why - Autumn is here!
The wind smells wonderful, reminding me of changing leaves and reading a good book in front of a fireplace. This shouldn't be such a unique situation, I mean, it happens once a year, right? Well, for me this is a rarity. I spent the last 4 years in sunny Las Vegas where we don't have trees that change color with the seasons. They actually decorate the palm trees (imported) and joshua trees (large cactus) with Christmas lights when the season is right... which is wrong in so many ways. The other thing that struck me last Thursday and has been reinforced the last few days is that I'm not cold anymore. I'd been keeping my A/C almost off since I got here, feeling very cold (with chill bumps) in the mid-70s, yet here it is at 63 and I can be in shorts and not be chilly. It had also been very humid and I've been mildly sick since I got here, but now that its dry (high 60%s vs 100%) I feel great and I can breath normally.
I remember in South Dakota that it would only get humid right before a rain and then once it rained it would be dry again... it's been exactly like that the last several days! I can't say how gratelful I am. I went running again this evening, amazing, beautiful. Somehow whenever the weather decided to turn on the switch, something broke in me that had me stuck in NV and now I'm remenbering skiing in jeans and a turtleneck with a windbreaker... I can't wait to play in the snow again!
