"Seasons"|

Autumn is my favorite season. Maybe it's the crisp air, or the sudden change of leaves.Maybe it's the aura that changes in the air or the sudden preparation for winter.

I read something the other day to the extent of how imperative it is for us to not rush the seasons of our lives. How each chapter has its' moment to be read.

What if we had all the seasons fall on us at one time? Would we be overwhelmed and overstimulated?

This year has brought so many unexpected changes in the "seasons" of my life. A new town, new roommates and friends, a new position in my work field, school and enough weddings and a new baby (on the way)in my family to keep me busy all year.

Some days, if I stop myself, I cannot believe it all happened in one year. I am amazed at my ability as a human to adapt to all the change.

We don't get much forewarning for many things in our lives.Life can move from being sobering and fragile, to a celebration of new life, to anxiety of a new experience, to waiting for something that means the world to you(meanwhile learning a ton of patience).

If I could pin point the biggest lesson I have learned this year, it is this:

I cannot control the outcomes of my life and I don't know all that tomorrow holds.

But that's ok.

What is life without a little mystery,right?
