(Warning: Lower the volume!)
Fall often means the end of summer to a lot of people, but to me it means that the trees are going to do their dance of colors and apples will grow. In kindergarden, they would bring me apple picking. It was so much fun it made me want to do it every year. It's just so nice to go out for a day with your family or friends and pick these beautiful fruit. You get to eat them as you go or you can decide you want to fill your bag up as much as possible.
This year, I didn't have anyone to go with, so I posted a status on Facebook asking who would have the kindness of driving me to an orchard and letting me run around. I was so happy to see I wasn't the only one that wanted to. I organized the ride with one of my friends and we went with his family and our friends. I'm sure glad I went! I'm not a traditional girl but I like my traditions!
It's good to absorb as much sunshine as possible before the long nights come. By the end of November, I'm already feeling heavy-hearted, so this last glimpse of sunshine is what I need to push me to be cheerful. Dance has also helped me a lot with that. I might start a class feeling unhappy, but by the end of it, I will be full of joy. It's like a dose of happiness medicine. Same with the apples! I mean there must be a reason why the saying says: "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."
