The Seasons Will Come & Go...

Ooh, bit of an ambiguous title for a blog post.  But let's take it at face value for now - the seasons will come and go.  It's a comforting thought, right?  There's always a bit of a debate as a season comes to a close: those who are embracing the new season, ahead of time vs. Those who want to squeeze every last drop out of the current season.  There's no right way to 'do' a season, but if I had to choose a camp, it'd be the former.  I can't help but look forward to the months ahead and start to plan and anticipate what could be ahead.  It's exciting, because the opportunities seem endless when a little time separates the here and now from the then.  A lot can change as the seasons transition, y'know?  So, before we all start mourning the loss of summer, let's start getting excited about the season ahead! Autumn, we're ready for you...

Personally, I adore change.  A new season is a fresh start, clean slate and chance to push forwards with a different mindset.  I know, I know, you can do that at any time of the year - but it doesn't hurt to have the weather pushing you in a new direction as well, right? The move from Summer to Autumn is probably the most dramatic of the transitions and I'm so ready for it.  Going by the general sounds across social media right now, I feel as though we're all looking into new ventures and projects - tell me if I'm wrong?  So with the colder temperatures pushing us indoors (conveniently where all of the faux fur blankets and cinnamon-scented candles are), it's the perfect time to embrace some new challenges and get to work!

But don't worry, it isn't all work and no play.  After a hectic and social summer season, Autumn can present a wonderful opportunity to slow the pace a little and start to appreciate more down time.  A favourite element of mine is undoubtedly the return of chunky knit jumpers and knee-high boots; the kind of wardrobe refresh that feels perfect after a long, beautiful, scorching summer!

Oh, but let's not forget just how exciting the last quarter of the year can be!  Hello October through to December; three months of unadulterated joy, celebrations and all things thrilling; ranging from cosy to glittering!  So much happens at that time of year, which in a way makes September all the more special; it serves as a calm bridge to a hectic time ahead.  And I can't wait.

Okay, so I've made my stance super clear with regard to the changing seasons - they're a chance to wipe the slate clean and move forwards with a fresh outlook.  New weather, wardrobe and perspective.  We can't stop the seasons from folding over into the next and so we may as well embrace with open arms!  I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic; let me know in the comments below...
