#805 There are two times of the year.. Autumn and waiting for Autumn..


As winter for us draws to a close in Australia, we are still experiencing unreasonable cold temperatures and hardly any rain for months and months. I am definitely not looking forward to the summer that awaits and the scorching high 40'c, and would give anything apart from rain to have Autumn again. 
Autumn gives us every opportunity to live an authentic life. Yet how easy it is to miss the little things in the pursuit of a “perfect” life! An authentic life is made up of recognizing beautiful moments, amongst the extraordinary colours that Autumn seems to showcase for us all.   
We all need to take a moment to linger if even for a few minutes to remember what we love about Autumn before it disappears.  
So here below are my 10 little moments that I love about Autumn...in no particular order,

1.     Snuggling with a loved one and watching the beautiful flickering of the fire;
2.     Scent of aromatic candles as it permeates across the house;
3.     Glorious pumpkin soup, and/or roast potatoes & carrots - lots of baked dinners;
4.     Watching movies snuggled in soft blankets- Feasting on Netflix and Stan;..
5.     Wind blowing through the stunning colored tree and being mesmerized of the sea of red, gold, and orange
6.     Glow of lamps through windows;
7.     Laughter filling a room;
8.     Scrabble and popcorn;
9.     Baking bread to eat with the soup;
10.   Creating Autumn décor scenes for Secondlife.. Showcasing all that Autumn has to offer.

Below from pinterest are some of the ten items that I love about Autumn.

#215 Wake me up when September Ends with LivGlam, D!va and Finesmith

 
There are many reasons why I love Autumn, and why Autumn is a time for reflection and change.
 
What I have noticed though is that a lot of romantic encounters that happen in the summertime, of which is heightened by the nice weather; bare and sweaty bodies, sun on the skin, trim, fit and healthy bodies, (yum), It also brings with it some summertime sadness as well. (cliché but true).
 
I have always wondered whether Summer romances were just as they are, Summer Romances.
It seems that Facebook agrees. They did a study over 2011 - 2012, and for people during Summer, no matter where you live,  people aged under 25, and over 35 changed their relationship status during the months of (May - August) and (December - February), which Facebook believe was an increase in breakups compared to what occurs over the rest of the year. Wonder why people aged 26 to 34 seem to be not affected?
 
Regardless of whether Summer love can be sussed from anecdotal, cultural or data collection, some particulars of the season certainly set the stage for hook ups and for now, Autumn is a time to savour friends, loved ones, and to enjoy whatever time of the year it is for you.
 
For me, I can't wait till September ends, as Summertime is just around the corner for me ;)
