autumn

on most days, leaving my apartment before 730 in the morning would be drag, but this morning, it felt almost liberating. getting up was not fun, and when my alarm went off at 7 instead of 6, i was a bit flustered and confused, but i prevailed and got ready in a timely fashion.

walking out the door, i smelled something that can only be described as liberating, fresh, new. the smell in my apartment is not bad-- my roommate and i bought those glade scented wall fresheners that smell like winter and christmas (and that has always been a favorite time of mine). but outside, the earth was speaking.

i read all of these things about saving the environment and not letting global warming consume the beautiful resources the earth has to offer. i appreciate walking to class and fresh smells. and even though it was cold this morning, the air offered more than anything i can ask for. it was the relief i needed. and i'm glad that even though i live in the down town district of a large metropolitan city, that i can still experience the goodness autumn has to offer.

thank you god!
