The cold in the air

It's been getting cold recently as Fall begins to peak its head out and I see more and more sweaters and long sleeves. I've noticed this year that seasons seem to be lasting longer too. Or perhaps that's the cliche observation people make every year. "I don't think this _________(fill in season here) will ever end." I however love the fall. For some reason the majority of the good times in my life have revolved around the fall. I met my fiance in the fall, started school in the fall, and now I'm goind to end school in the fall. In my mind, the fall represents the infinite possibilities in life, never knowing what's in store. When I feel that my life is on the fast track and I don't take account of the day, one cool fall breeze can stop me in my tracks and make me take stock. I think by virtue of the fact that the days become shorter and nature is beginning to sleep, we as people seek out those closest to us. I truly believe that there is only one way to measure a person's life and that is by the quality of the relationships they have. The fall can strengthen those relationships and give them new life. The cold makes us seek another person to spend time with and get warmth from. Drinking something warm and just being with someone you love is the essence of life for me.
