Fall Festivities
/
I can hardly believe we are approaching the end of October! It always feels like the Autumn season goes by so quickly. I'm sure it's partially due to our never-ending-summer-temps we have down South. We normally don't do a whole lot of festive things during the fall besides going to a few festivals. However, we decided to tag along with some of our friends to a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. (Of course, it was blazing hot that day! Ha!) The pumpkin picking was alright (It kind of takes the fun out of it when you pre-cut the pumpkins! Oh well!), but they had the prettiest sunflower field. You could pick for free too! That is my kind of fun! Now that mine have all died, I may have to go back and get some more! I've tried to bring along my camera a little bit more lately, and I'm glad I brought it this day!
I hope you all had a great weekend! Things are pretty good over here, besides me getting poison ivy. I think I may have picked it up somewhere in the sunflower field. Fun, I know! Now I'm just catching up on some beautiful weddings! I cannot wait to share soon!
Not everyone is going to like me. It's a hard fact of life. I still remember being rejected from "the cool kid's table" in preschool. Somehow I think we all assume that it's something we grow out of and that we'll be so much stronger and confident as adults. Not so. A few weeks ago I read a quote from Beth Redman that stated, "There is a huge amount of freedom that comes when you take nothing personally." I don't know about you, but I can be a fairly confident person until I receive a little criticism or feel rejection. Then, I melt into a puddle of insecurity. It's hard not to take things personally.
