Happiness is...
When you take off layers of clothing and feel your skin breathe. It's even more happy when this is something you're doing at the end of October... there you are, sun!
Totally not ready for winter yet.

Enjoy the weekend!!
Happiness is...
Doing homework for the first time all weekend. No, I have not been consumed with my reading. I put it aside and enjoyed myself the last couple days. And you know what? It feels awesome. So there.
Today, I have to be productive. I have several chapters to get through. But that's not the end of the world. I am happy to buckle down after a couple great afternoons. And I am able to wake up early and do it. Why? Because I wasn't stupid about my weekend. It was just right.
Yes, tomorrow's Monday, and the week gets going all over again. Boo. But for today, I am going to revel in my relaxation and get some of this done. No worries, just work. It's all about your attitude.

Apple Everything
Happiness is...
Most definitely Fall. It's my favorite time of the year for a multitude of reasons. One of these is apples. I love everything about them. I love orchards, I love cider, I like just eating them or baking them into pies, crisps, bars, and all of the above.
Honey crisp, zestar, braeburn, gala, or my new favorite sweet sixteen, I love to grab an apple and bite into its juicy goodness. And there's no better time than Fall for that. tonight it was a combination of all of this awesome, with an orchard, fruit dip, eating, and baking (the apple crisp was by far the best one I've made in years). Tomorrow, I shall continue. Just you wait.
So,what's your favorite part of Fall? Corn mazes (I love those too)? Photos (yeah, you know me)? Crunching the leaves (which I believe I've already written about)? Cuddling up for the first time in the year (I wish)? Back to school season (hehehe)? Or do you simply love it as much as I do?

Hello Autumn!
Happiness is...
The first day of fall! Man, does it ever feel like it. I woke up, made myself some toast and cocoa, and then crawled right back under my blankets. It's in the 40s outside, but I get to take shelter in my cozy little bedroom! (For now)... Soon I will venture out, and I better see at least 40 leaves on the ground as I make my way to campus. Crunch, crunch, crunch, and I'll be happily on my way!
It feels good to welcome fall in. Winter can hold off, but I love this season. Beyond words.

Warm toes
Happiness is...
Tucking your feet into your body and feeling the warmth spread.
This morning was not extremely exciting. It was probably no more than 50 degrees outside and the rain was coming through (not down) in torrents. An umbrella didn't even help. My face was wet and my jeans were freezing into a stiff mass. I was sure that I was going to experience instantaneous pneumonia. Yes, in September.
Luckily, after I got to work after the long walk and got my clothes to dry off, I'm still able to slip out of my flats and stick my toes into the fold in my knees. It's the same concept as sticking my cold hands up the back of your shirt, though slightly less discomforting. Instead, it's nothing but pure joy, as my toes radiate with warmth and fit cozily into the crooks in my body. We were made to hold ourselves. Embrace throughout the frigid fall temperatures. Rejuvenate mid-day. And now here I am, warm and relaxed, sitting in a jumbled ball at my desk. It just doesn't get much better than this...
