Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Let me paint you a little picture: Its 4 in the afternoon on a Thursday in October. You look outside your window as you stand there drinking a mug of warm apple cider. Normally you would have a cup of tea but being the time of year, apple cider just sounded good. As you stand there sipping away, you notice the sun is starting to set a little earlier and although it is still high in the sky, it is making its decent. The wind blows through the tress that are colored with red, yellow and orange leaves. There are a few green ones still but they are few and far between. The temperature has dropped yet again and you have on your favorite sweater and jeans. The cider warms your chest with each sip and you realize just how cozy you feel. You think to yourself that a stroll through the neighborhood might be nice. The way the crisp, cool air feel when you breathe it in can be so refreshing. Halloween is coming up and maybe you will see which of your neighbors are already decorating. There is something special about the autumn. There is something in the air that gives it a mysterious feel. The lazy days of summer are gone and the dark days of winter have yet to come. If you have never experienced Autumn you are missing out on a very special time if year….
