Fall has arrived, and with it comes a sense of change. As the temperatures drop and the leaves change color, we are reminded of the temporary nature of all things. With all this weighing on the mind, it's important to appreciate our present comforts.
Celebrating the present not only provides us with a sense of comfort, but also restores a balance within us that allows us to embrace the changes that accompany the new season.
