Perfect Words for this Time of Year

I came across this passage that reminded me of why this time of year is so refreshing:

"I don't have a favourite season, I have a favourite feeling. It's the windows open, silent back roads with dirty bare feet feeling. It's when I can walk straight outside without pausing to fish out a jacket. It is curtains dancing around my room because of the cool breeze that brushes against the fabric. It is the sunset after desert and grass as my pillow. The sound of lawnmowers, of falling leaves and rain against the window. Pockets of shade and walks along a gravel road...I don't have a favorite season... I have a favorite feeling." ~ Author unknown

Sometimes it is all in how we look at something. When we can appreciate the little things around us, we feel content. When we are grateful for what comes with every season, we can focus on the good feelings they invoke. :) Like this post? Consider subscribing! Photo credit: http://Photo by ALQANUNI on Unsplash

The West Champlain Family Health Team is grateful to the Indigenous Health Circle (which works in collaboration with The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn and the Ottawa Valley Ontario Health Team) for sharing a meaningful land acknowledgement both in English and Omámíwininímowin (the Algonquin Anishinábe language), which is the basis of our own.
