this weekend i was able to be in one of my favorite towns; beaufort, nc. if you've never been you are truly missing out. simply put, its perfect. the waterfront is beautiful, the houses have large front porches with rocking chairs and the flowers and trees that line the streets seem a little more enchanted than those in other towns. beaufort holds my memories from two summers ago which is another reason why it is so special. its just one of those places that always makes me happy, a place where everything seems to fall into place and the small details make it the way it is.
i'm currently reading the perks of being a wallflower (which i would highly recommend) and i've found it very interesting how charlie finds a way to describe the world in a way that makes sense. i always struggle with these descriptions myself, like how do i express to others how wonderful my day was when the sun was warm and the wind was cool and the sky was clear and i could wear jean shorts and a long sleeve t and sit on the sailboat and soak in the world around me. and i think i found it, i think it came to me when he said "i feel infinite." there's not much more that needs to be said after that. it was just one of those days when you felt warm inside.
i think this goes on to say that autumn is just one of those seasons, that is perfect. that warms your soul because its always beautiful. and simply driving down the street with the windows down and the music on its easy to be distracted by the vibrancy of the world around you. and realize how much there is to be thankful for, no matter what, we always have this beautiful world that God created for us, and for me autumn finds its own way to highlight that beauty.
