 I can not believe the amazing weather we are having, that we are actually having a real fall.  Reminding myself of the beauty of autumn and truly taking time to think about why I have always enjoyed it. It made me reflect on how memories I am fond of spending time outside in fall as the leaves crackled underneath my feet. It definitely made me pay attention to the rhythm of my walk and how I moved through the space. As I was out there were many people walking their dogs on top of the hill, which made it hard to have a moment to myself, as there were many dog visitors that came up to me. I was able to conversate with a few of my neighbours and got to connect more to my community which was nice, as I really got to listen and the simple questions about their dogs went to deeper questions about who they are. Taking time to connect and learn other's stories gave me an appreciation for the people I usually pass and see around.
