As I was driving home from the store last night, I had my car windows down and Ingrid Michaelson on my radio. The song “Die Alone” came on the radio and I began to feel the crisp chilly air whipping through the window. I caught myself breathing it in… big, deep inhales… letting the coolness fill up every corner of my body and slowly releasing it along with all my tension and stress. Had I not been driving I most likely would have closed my eyes and just sat quietly, reveling in the peace that filled me.

I love nights like this. It’s probably why I love fall so much. I love cool breezes. I love the sensation I get when a chilly breeze hits me… the way it seems to pass right through me and chill me to my core. It’s the type of feeling that makes you feel like bundling up in comfy sweaters or cuddling on the couch enveloped in a warm fuzzy blanket. I love feeling as though my oversized sweater and fuzzy blanket are hugging me with warmth. It’s such a friendly, happy feeling to me.

But the other reason I love the chill breeze it because of the things it reminds me. To be chilled so deeply to have it penetrate me clean through reminds me that I am only human, that I am fragile, and that there are far bigger and greater things at work in the world than me. It cleanses me of my worries (if only for a moment) because I’ve been reminded that there is someone watching out for me. Someone who has a plan for me. Someone who knows what’s best for me. And it helps me to be at peace with my current situation, whatever that may be. It helps me remember that I am loved by someone who knows me much better than I know myself… And that is a comforting thought.

I hope you all are having a Fine Friday and that you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy yourself and spend some time with those you love!
