just something about it...

there's just something about some things.
like....

there's just something about a good night's rest.
the name of Jesus.
a cool shower after a day in the sun at the beach.
the smell of a christmas candle.
a sincere hug.
a surprise.
that special look from an admirer.
opening the windows in your house.
the smell of clean laundry.
the sound of wind chimes.
a great song that is just right for your range.
laughing until you cry.
crying because of good things.

for me, there's just something about the FALL season.
i love it. i love the breeze, the time of year...

this season sparks so many memories:
the coming of cold football friday nights, boiled peanuts, hot chocolate, the drums and the band marching onto the field.
i remember coming home from school on these afternoons and wanting to read in the hammock. i didn't even like to read that much. i just enjoyed the serenity of the experience.
i remember still enjoying school because the year was still new. the routine wasn't old. i still did my homework and felt good about my efforts. :)
i also remember looking forward to the holidays- thanksgiving, christmas....and all the great things that they'd bring.

there's just something this season does for me, that the others will never be able to do. i like them for what they have to offer. but i will always love this one the best.

it calms my spirit and reminds me of the reasons to love life and love the giver of it.
just does.

what's your favorite season?
