Falling

Yesterday, sitting at my computer working I heard something hit the back window. I paused, sure I was hearing things and glanced out the window. Leaves were falling from the trees as the wind blew. Not just falling, they were twirling and dancing, turning the backyard into a magical wonderland of Autumn! Work forgotten for the moment, I rushed out barefoot, planted my feet amongst the leaves, turned my face toward the sky and enjoyed the rain of leaves on my face! I found myself laughing and twirling along with the leaves. It was a little moment of magic and pure happiness. Later during the day, I reached up to fix my bun and found a leaf in my hair, and couldn't help but smile again. There’s so much magic in our ordinary days, we just need to look for it.
