Hop-ed, Dream-ed, Realiz-ed.

Today, like any other day, is a day of unlimited potential.  Anything can happen if you believe it can.  Make today a day of hopes and dreams and realities.

1. Help yourself to an extra large slice of pumpkin pie...with whipped cream.
2. Find time to tell the people in your life how much they mean to you.
3. Start a tradition that your children will carry on when you're gone.
4. Relish the simple pleasures.
5. Kiss someone until passion leaks through your lips.
6. Trust in the possibility of the impossible.
7. Dust off your wings and make a promise to use them when the right breeze blows through.
8. Identify the things in your life to which you will remain loyal no matter what.
9. Ask the universe for something you think you deserve.  Then work harder to deserve it.
10.  Discover something magical about the world today.

I haven't OD-ed on pumpkin, yet.

Just a few things we love about fall...

1.  The Madison Square park fall festival where they serve cold beer and warm pumpkin puffs (chunks of spiced pumpkin wrapped in pastry dough and fried until flaky and golden brown)
2.  Long walks in Central Park as the crisp fall air turns your cheeks the perfect shade of rose.
3.  Waking up to a steaming cup of pumpkin spice Keurig coffee.
4.  Cashmere socks.
5.  Stuffing skinny jeans into broken-in Frye boots.
6.  A perfectly wrapped scarf that serves equally as a brilliant accessory and as practical outerwear.
7.  A little extra wiggle room to enjoy warm, comfort food.
8.  The Halloween costume brainstorming sessions had during Monday night football commercial breaks
9.  Primetime TV in full swing.
10.  The return of creative window displays and a reason to shop again (sweaters and boots and scarves, oh my!)
11.  Brisk air gives you an extra excuse to cozy up to that special someone.
12.  Apples, apples, everywhere!
13.  Not sweating on the walk to work, hair that doesn't frizz the minute you step outside, and lightly moisturized skin tucked under soft layers.
14. The return of red wine.
