Max: It's Fall and I Can't Get it Up

I love fall. Fall and Spring are my favorite times of the year. Temperatures in the 60-75 degree range are just about perfect. Add in some sun and I can't help but feel good. I am able to actually get outside and not sweat or freeze. I probably get the more exercise during Fall and Spring just because I like to get out and walk.

I also like them because they bring out my more reflective side. When I am out walking or just watching the world go by, my mind will wander. It gives me a chance to put the present aside and think and plan for the future. I tend to be more creative because I am thinking more. For a few months I have been playing around with an idea for a movie. I had most of the characters thought out. I had some scenes in my head. I had a sense of how I would like the movie to look and feel. But I didn't have much of a plot, I had no center of gravity to bring together all the thoughts. But, now that I am in thinking mode, I have figured out the plot to go with the characters and the overall feel.

Plus, I just tend to feel better about life. I can think about things like ideas for movies without worrying about how unlikely it is that I will ever really make one. I can just enjoy the creative process and forget about what may or may not come of it. And taking pleasure in things for what they are, not what might or might not be in a few years is something I think I need to do more, even when the weather is not so to my taste.
