🌤 This piece was originally written in 2023. It was part of a daily writing prompt that asked me to reflect on my favorite weather. What began as a simple answer turned into a love letter to the seasons—each one bringing its own kind of healing and joy. I’m excited to reshare it with you now, as a reminder to find beauty in every season of life.

The Seasons that speak to me soul

Force me to stay inside—with the rain tapping the windows and gray skies swirling above—and I’ll find my peace. I’ll slow-cook winter food in the crockpot while the aroma dances through the house. I’ll wrap up in my favorite blanket, sip hot teas and coffee from my favorite mug, and read for hours. My smushy-faced pug will curl up in my lap, content as I sit in my favorite chair, listening to the wind and rain, my toes warm in wool socks. These are the days that soothe my soul.

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t crave the kiss of sunshine too.

I love a day when the sun tans my skin and I can stretch out on the sand as the waves roll in. No worries. No time clocks. Just me, my book, the sea breeze, and maybe something chilled in hand. I’ll daydream and day-drink as the tide chases the birds and my dog naps nearby. I’d happily waste away the hours like that, a beach bum in bliss.

Then there’s autumn. Sweet, grounding autumn. You pull me back into myself. You remind me who I was always meant to be. You slow me down with your cooler air and give me space to exhale. I rest in you. I reflect. I learn. You blanket me in cotton skies and earthy tones, and all the hurt and hustle begin to ease.

Summer, you are a fleeting dream. You warm my weary bones and breathe life into forgotten places. You are open roads and ocean air. You ask nothing of me—just to be. You’re not quite me, but you welcome me to stay awhile. You give me a glimpse of a version of myself I rarely meet. A short hello from a simpler time.
