I need to figure out how to edit the photo until Mango is ready to take this activity back!
In the meantime you're all stuck with me! xD

My day to day happiness is something that is changing in my life.

This time of the year is something I always look forward to. September marks the beginning of the 'ber months that always bring a marked improvement in my mental health, productivity, and energy. Autumn quite literally gives me life, which is ironic considering that nature is slowly dying. I noticed a few days or so ago that some of the leaves on the trees in my backyard have begun to already change colors! This single photograph marks the beginning of the best part of my year. It marks where my mind finally begins to relax and provides me with more serotonin than poison. ♥

 Summertime heat still remains, but the rain helps to stay cool until the seasons change.

Can't wait for fall to come, all the pretty colors! In the meantime I just enjoy what summer has to offer.

I have been struggling with depression and trying to make huge and hard decisions / changes in my life right now. But spending time with my best friend of 13 years is something that has helped me though!

This photo is from our weekend getaway where she helped me with much needed clarity. It rained and it was glorious to go out and walk in it!
