October 1st.

October is here and I am not only happy, but amazingly ecstatic. The first day of October is always my favorite day.  It not only symbolizes that fall is finally among us, but also that change has already arrived.

And change is always good.  Regardless of how change comes about, there is something about it that impacts the soul and makes you think differently.

I really used to hate change.  It terrified me.  I would hope and pray that things would stay in place, just as they were, and never become anything different then that.

Over time however, I have come to learn that without change, there isn't much to look forward to in life.  If we are constantly stuck in the same day, same perspective, same old habits that are detrimental to our being, then how do we learn?  How do we move forward?  How do we figure ourselves out?  And how do we learn to be fearless?

With change, life becomes more abundant and what it should be, and greater things are able to present themselves.

I can't believe that the year has gone by as fast as it has.  Sometimes that scares me.  But, then I stop and think that it's the moments I'm in, the ones that take my breath away, that make the year, in spite of how quickly it goes by, truly breathtaking.

Quality over quantity.

In about a month my guy and I will be on our way to visit my family in Texas.  It has been two long years since I last visited.  Two long years since I went back to my hometown.  And I am ready.  Finally, since I moved to Vegas six years ago, that we will be going to just visit, to just relax, to just be.

It is something I am not quite used to, as sadly and unfortunately, I've mostly visited Texas because of tragedy or things I had to do.

But this time around, it will be different.  And I can't help but smile from ear to ear, anxiously awaiting the moment we set foot on the plane to go back to where I come from.

Life is beautiful.  Even in the ugly moments,  life has always taken my breath away.  It has always mattered.  Through all the crazy roads I've traveled, I am finally on the path that I was destined to be on.  No matter what, even when I falter, I look over at all the beauty in my life, and I can't help but smile.  I can't help but feel such love.

October is my favorite month.  It's the month of change.  It's the month of love, for me.  The month my life changed as I knew it.  And the month that I met the person, who I could never picture life without.

To October, one of my great loves.
