What does Fall provide you in terms of living the life you desire?

FALL. When the dog days of summer are eventually on their way out and we’re now being greeted with a subtle chill in the air, autumn is definitely on its way in. Like spring, this is another time of transition. The lush vegetation of summer will slowly change and give way to the shifting colors of the foliage. Verdant greens will yield to hues of gorgeous yellows, oranges and reds. This is typically a time for the last of the agricultural harvests and to stock up for the coming winter season. … It’s also a time of holidays, of evaluation and preparation, and of thanksgiving.

As I turn from the very active summer months, I look ahead to this time with great excitement! In the fall, I’m hiking, running, or mountain-biking trails in my area. I’m also eager to make my way to the higher latitudes once again to travel back to the mountains I love so dearly, to step into familiar rivers that I haven’t seen in a while and to cast a line with a fly to see what kind of action I can stir up from the depths. … It’s once again a time of reflection for me. I take stock of the months gone by to see what goals and projects I’ve accomplished both personally and professionally and look ahead to see what is next. I give thanks across all the dimensions of my well-being (e.g., the Mental, the Emotional, the Spiritual, and the Physical) and prepare for what’s next in terms of Relationships, Recreation, Career, and Passion. … Like every day of every other season, I choose to live ACTIV365. What will you choose and how will you prepare?
