Fall

Celebrated #44 this past week and received a fun AM surf as a gift from Mother Ocean. Funny how things change as we get older. As a child, the eagerness for that special day to arrive was so exciting. The excitement of turning another year older was always such a neat experience. Now, the excitement is fading and reality begins to take hold. Youth has passed and the day seems to slip by just like all the rest. These days, I look forward to that special day as the arrival of my favorite season. The arrival of the Fall may be bleak or disappointing to some, the days get shorter, the temperatures start to cool, and we all prep for the eventual coming of winter. But for me, its the best time of the year. Cool but not cold, crisp but not bitter. Watching Mother Nature change her colors from greens to so many shades of red, orange, and yellow. The skies seem a little clearer, the air a little cleaner and the nights a bit quieter. In a word, Peaceful. So as another year slides by, I look forward to the days ahead. Here's hoping for a few more weeks of warm water and some glassy morning surfs. :) Maluhia...
