I love autumn. All things associated with fall bring a smile
to my face. Cool, crisp air. Evenings that begin a little earlier. Brilliantly
colored leaves falling to the ground. Apple cider. Football. Snuggling up in
hoodies and blankets. [just to name a few]
Unfortunately, living
in Florida, I don’t get to experience much of the usual comforts of the autumn
season. Because of this, I usually begin
yearning for fall much sooner than normal people.
So this weekend, I indulged myself with a little slice of
autumn that’s available anywhere: a pumpkin scented candle. [spiced pumpkin pie
to be exact]
I burnt the candle all weekend and our apartment smelled
amazing, while the scent made me crave pumpkin-flavored desserts. The smell of warm pumpkin makes any place
feel cozy and ignites nostalgia of my childhood days – jumping in piles of
leaves and picking out that perfect pumpkin from the patch. [Not to mention the
romantic, inspiring look of a room lit only by candles]
This simple pleasure reminds me of wonderful times, makes me
feel warm and fuzzy inside, and reignites my zest for life.
