Ways to Celebrate the Changing Seasons
The beginning of the Fall season marks the time for transition; while some enjoy the cool nights as the darkness sets in, it is time for others to bid adieu to green leaves and long sunny days. No matter what is the case for you, there are always reasons to celebrate Fall and take the time to introspect, prepare, and plan for change. I, personally, love the cosy feeling this cycle of the year brings with it, and can’t wait to share my favourite reasons to celebrate the upcoming season!
I specifically like:
Spending Nights by the Fire. Setting up a cosy fireplace and enjoying a good book wrapped in a warm blanket, or watching the flames flickering as the sun fades enveloped in the arms of your special someone, or spending quality time with your loved ones enjoying the warmth and using the fire to toast marshmallows while enjoying cups of hot chocolate ~ are among the best ways to create truly special Fall memories.
Seasonal Festivities. Considering the traditional calendar, Fall is regarded as a time for festivities and celebration. Remember that this is that time of the year where our ancestors would have been occupied with storing food to last through the winter and spring seasons. Thus, Fall is a beautiful way to see how Mother Earth sustains us. Look around your locality and see if there are food events to celebrate the beginning of the Harvest Festival, which is indicative of how well the land is endowed. And since, Fall also means that we are a skip and jump away from Halloween {or Samhain}, get into the spirit of it by trick or treating or hosting a themed soirée for family and friends.
Cook a Delectable Meal. Embrace all that the season has to offer and make the most of nature’s gifts at this time. Forge beautiful memories by inviting your friends or family members to enjoy a joint cooking experience; this way, not only will you relish treasured family recipes passed down from one generation to another, but also set the mood for the new season by sharing moments of happiness. In addition, by dressing up for dinner, you can make it a real occasion and enjoy the night in a themed ambience.
Make Some Music. For me, the tradition has been to create lasting memories by using evenings during the Fall season to engage with others and interact. In my opinion, restaurants make for a great gathering place. If music is your strength and your weakness, have a get together with like-minded friends and play for your audience. Playing an instrument is not only a skill but also a confidence booster that relaxes the mind while creating a cheerful and enjoyable atmosphere. Else, explore your local community and find music events to dance your way through the night!
I hope you enjoyed my favourite reasons to celebrate Fall! I sure am ready to find enjoyment in the little things as the wheel of the year turns towards Fall, and I wish you the very best of the season this year!
Oh, how lovely! ❤️
It’s a dull morning here with a cloudy week ahead, so I’m very happy I got to enjoy the sunshine last week! Today will be a day for books, tea, chocolate biscuits and writing. Enjoy your week, Tanya. ❤️
Glad you like it, Prajna.
What a beautiful plan for the day…
Beautiful images, like a magazine shoot. I’m glad you intend to enjoy the new season as much as you can. Here’s to fall, my favourite season. Always so welcome after the long, sticky monsoons.
You’re too kind for words, Vaibhavi. Thank you so much!
Gorgeous photos and writing! ✨✨✨
After reading your valuable advice, I must now take time to convalesce, and not rush back to work. I know convalescence is very unfashionable in the present day, but I am a firm believer that it pays to take the time to fully mend before getting busy again!
Go with the flow & see where it takes you, Sharvani.
Hope you soaked up every healing ray of that sweet sunlight during your stunning editorial, Tanya. 🙂
I am enjoying some simple pleasures: a leisurely walk through my neighbourhood, carrot cake in the tin, and some beautiful flowers to start my week!
Thank you so much, Vishwas! I sure did…
That all sounds sublime.
Such beautiful photos on your blog today – a magical moment describes them perfectly!
It’s hard to match the beauty of early fall mornings, with the sunrise turning the sky pearl-pink over the fading daffodils and the mist still clinging to the low ground… I shall enjoy incorporating your suggestions into this season.
You have the nicest things to say to me, Vasudha. Thank you so much for your love!
The light and the daffodils sound lovely. Nature waking up just a little ahead of us to prepare for the day ahead…
Looking lovely. ✨ I can almost smell the sweetness of that spread looking into the images.
Sometimes, for whatever reason, we just need to step back and work on our health, whether physical or mental. ✨ I’ll look forward to your future posts and super recommendations!
Thank you for that reflection, Chahat.
This is stunning – totally love the vibes! ✨ You’ve certainly put me in the fall mood!
