Actually, I do love the smell of fall leaves, wood burning stoves filling the crisp air and the colors of bright reds and oranges that fill the trees and skies. But I hate the dark, cold and wet, which is what fall mostly is around here. I have always loved Halloween because I love making costumes, becoming someone else for a short time. I love dark stories and poems. Like Poe and King NOT <strong>Saw<\/strong> and chop them up type movies.<\/p>\n<p>This Fall has been a roller coaster of ups and downs for me&#8230; The teaching has been going so well, but physically I have been suffering from an endless cold for almost a month now. It has been hard with the increasing bad weather to get in the needed\u00c2\u00a0healthy exercise and nutrition (don&#8217;t you just crave those comfort foods that are oh so bad for you when its cold?)<\/p>\n<p>What is your favorite season? What do you like about Fall?<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Mandala is about Fall.
