Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
My favorite season would definitely have to be the fall. I love watching the trees essentially show us through their change of color that there are always new beginnings even through the harshest, and coldest, times of the year. I also really enjoy being able to go outside, going apple picking, and drinking cider. The weather doesn’t keep me indoors because it’s too cold and it’s a delightful transition to the winter.
My favorite season is Fall! I love the cooler weather, the leaves, and how things are starting over like school. It’s a season of renewal and it resonantes with me.
Winter. The weather is cooler and the sun is not as brutal. We don’t get snow where I live, but I adore the rain, smells and sounds when it rains is very calming to me.
My favourite season is Autumn, I just love how slow life gets, how the colours change and the milder weather. The food is always my favourite to apples, pumpkin, spices, pies it’s all just so warming for the body and mind, it’s a very calming season to me xoxo
My favorite season is Spring. I love it how everything starts to get color again and all the flowers and leaves come back to life.
My favourite season is Autumn. I look forward to the cooler days, the misty mornings and the turning leaves.
Spring is my favorite. Everything blooms, and I love letting the fresh air in my open windows.
Spring is my favorite because it’s like a “waking up” if you will from Winter. The sun seems brighter, plants/flowers are blooming, and it’s not too hot.
My most favorite would probably be Winter. I prefer the cold over the heat, it presents an opportunity to cuddle, and Christmas is around the corner. I believe in the magic that happens around this time. People are a little nicer and more willing to be understanding. I always hope that love comes knocking at my door during this time. Just to feel the magic.
My favorite season is fall. I love the reprieve from the sometimes oppressive heat of the summer, and how the air smells when everything gets cooler and the leaves fall off of the trees. It’s also the season of Halloween, my all time favorite holiday!
My favorite season is autumn for it signals the start of peace and tranquility. I also love the oranges, reds and yellows which dot the landscape and the slight chill in the air. The cinnamon donuts at harvesting farms and golden pumpkins are also hard to beat.
Since my son was born almost 3 years ago, I’ve started loving winter again. When we were younger, my mom used to have us all go play in the snow for hours. I now live somewhere where it snows maybe twice a year.
My little bear comes running into my room to wake me up with “get dressed!!!! Faster!!!” and we run out to build a snowman together with whatever snow we can find that stuck overnight. Seeing him smile and giggle at the snow is my favorite thing ever.
Winter has always been my favorite season !! I live in a place where there is lots and lots of water surrounding my area. During summer the access is limited , but during winter, when everything is frozen, it becomes a huge playground for young and old to enjoy 🙂 That’s when the hiking truly begins for my adventurous family 🙂 Thank you !
First off, I am blessed to live in a place where we have 4 definite seasons each with a “personality” of its own……that said, my favorite is Fall. Things are winding down from the hustle and bustle of Spring and Summer, but not completely buttoned down for Winter’s hibernation. The change in the landscape is stunning, the colors breath-taking, and the weather is perfect! I spend a ton of time harvesting the garden’s bounty and soaking up a lot of Vitamin D to get through the shorter sunny days coming up. Plus, hello!!! Thanksgiving….need I say more????
My favorite season is fall. and not only because my birthday is the first day of fall. The changing leaves, the time for reflection.
My favourite season is autumn. Always makes me grounded and reflective.
I just can’t pick one…. I love the spring when the flowers first bloom and the fall because the leaf color change. I live the the midwest so it’s absolutely beautiful. Also mostly the both seasons are not too cold and not too hot.
My favorite season is definitely fall! The intense heat of summer dies down, some of my favorite foods are back in season, and the colors are beautiful.
my favorite season is WInter. Even though in Florida there is no typical cold Winter. The Winters are mild here, but i love Winter because of Christmas. The smells and decorations remind me of family get togethers and spending so much time with your loved ones as well as appreciating everyone!
I love the summer, because everything is hot! Always prefer the heat over the cold
Summer! I live in Oregon and while I am grateful for our green forests it is nice to have real sunshine rather than liquid one!
My favorite season is spring. After being dormant all winter, the trees, the flowers and the grass all start to sprout new leaves and grow. It always gives me a sense of renewal and empowerment.
My favorite season is spring. It’s a time of renewal. It’s a time of looking forward to the fun things I will be doing in the Summer. The weather is getting warmer and I can take my dog to the park. I can go on picnics. I can bathe in the sun and realize how awesome it is to be able to feel it.
I’m def a summer girl! I live in MI, the Great Lake State, and I am out on the water on my paddleboard as often as possible! Summer is the best!
My favorite season is winter. I struggle a great deal with perfectionism and often base my self-worth on how productive I am. My type A personality has me running ragged like an overactive hamster on a wheel. Winter is a reminder to slow down and rest and take stock. It is a time of reflection and with the new year, it is a time for greater intentionality and mindfulness in everything that I do. Winter is a time when I spend more time with family and am more aware of my relationship patterns and (lack of) boundaries, but it is also a time when I spend more time alone (which works wonders for this introvert). On a fun note, I love to ski, sled, and play in the snow <3
My favourite season is autumn. After the heat and fun of the summer, it’s nice to slow down…have time to reflect on how to be a better person…on how to be more grateful…more caring, more as God intended. Time to be still…to listen to the rustle of the dry leaves…take in the smell of everyone’s fireplaces as you walk by….to prepare to cocoon….to just BE
My favorite season is autumn. The crisp air, cooler nights, ability to get out my hand knit socks again, the beautiful colors of the leaves, the harvest…..all add up to some of my favorite memories and moments in life!
I love Fall, for the crisp air, wonderful smells & lots of conversations around the fire pit.
My favorite season is Fall because it is the beginning of all of the fun holidays.
My favorite season is spring. Everything awakens, you forget about gloomy weather and days are longer. Blooming positivity, fresh air, smiling faces, that all reminds me of spring <3
My favorite season is winter. I look forward to winter because it reminds me of my childhood… when life was simple and always fun. Brisk air and sparkles in the snow transport me to my grandmother’s house, where there were always warm ginger snaps and tight hugs. I am grateful for growing up in Michigan where I could shovel the snow from the sidewalks and play in the snow. I’m also grateful for every minute I was able to spend with my grandmother. She taught me the art of gratitude. She lived it and modeled it. Because of her the core of my inner self is always focused on my blessings and what I can do to create a good feeling in someone else during my day.
My favorite season is spring. Everything coming into bloom, reminds me of the flow of life everything has a cycle. Rebirth is coming. Makes me appreciate life and renewal.
I love the Spring…I sense of renewal and rebirth. It is a reawakening and I love flowers and the green. Not too hot, generally and crisp evenings to gather round a firepit before the sweltering of Summer.
My favorite season would be summer. I love the beach. I love the sun. I love the warmth that the sun has to offer. The sun makes me happy, motivated, healthier.
My favorite season is fall….I live out side of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and nothing excites me more then the changing colours of the leaves on my way to work, the crisp air of winter in our midst, the animals running around in the fields preparing for hibernation. It’s a time of Thanksgiving and a time to slow down and enjoy the moment. I love wearing warmer clothes but feeling fresh when I’m outside. It’s good to be alive when you can bear witness to the changing of the searsons.
I especially like fall. The weather cools down, with the school year starting you can feel a new beginning, and the holidays and family gatherings are in sight.
My favorite season is spring. Everything comes back new! I’m motivated to get all my Spring cleaning done. The flowers are starting to bloom, and the green is coming back. Reminds me of rebirth and beginning again.
I love spring the start of everything growing new again
Hi!
My favourite season is definitely fall. It starts to feel a bit colder, but you can still have sunny days, without feeling hot. This gives you a lot of energy, for example, to go out and exercise, and at the same time (specially when it’s colder), can slower you down progressively and make you want to stay inside and read, or just sleep.
My favorite season in autumn. I grew up in New York and loved when the leaves changed color plus Halloween is my favorite holiday.
Fall is my favorite time of year. The weather is not too hot or too cold and watching the leaves change to amazing colors while anticipating cozy nights at home.
While some may feel that Spring is a time of renewal, my favorite season is Autumn because it brings relief from the heat & humidity of a Southern summer and signals entry to a season of family and thankfulness. It is a time when I come out of physical and mental hibernation to view the world with new eyes. I am always more optimistic and hopeful at this time of year but I’m working on carrying that feeling throughout the year to come. Well… after it cools off in a couple of months. LOL For the time being, I’m back in my air-conditioned cave.
Summer is my favorite season…Time seems to slow down. Kayaking, picnics, laying in the sun, swimming, kids out of school, vacations. The cool mornings while I water the flowers and garden or clean the pool. Going to the drive in movies on the weekends.
My favorite season is summer: Bright sunshine, warm feeling all over. Not too overbearing, and not too cloudy. Just the right climate to be active. Also the school holidays come during summer when we all visit our grandparents home 🙂
My facebook post… Reading tiny buddha is a wonderful way to lift your spirit everyday. Lori’s new Gratitude Journal is a must have for slowing down and remaining awake about all our blessings.
My favorite season is summer, because I have the chance to travel, go hiking, kayaking, exploring and adventuring by myself or with friends. I feel such a sense of calm in the summertime, and find that I do a lot of self-reflection during this time. Happy first official day of summer!
I love summer. So many things to do like swimming, going to parks, concerts, summer theatre and fairs. Summer makes you feel alive with all the activities and let’s not forget the picnics and parties. Also stopping at the local ice cream store for a nice cool treat!
My favorite season is Fall. The leaves changing color reveals a special.beauty that was hiding. Beauty as nature prepares for a new round of growth .
SUMMER!!
I live in Fargo, ND so I Love being able to be outside and not FREEZE. My favorite is going to the lake, going on bike rides, walks with our dog and just chatting with friends and family on the patio.
Technically Summer is my favorite season, but Spring is the one I most look forward to because it means Summer is coming! As a freeze baby living in northern Ohio, I like finally getting to be warm once summer hits (as long as I’m not in AC, anyway!) I like wearing skirts and sandals. I like being to run something out to recycling or trash without having to put on shoes and a coat.
