I think every girl was programmed to love fall on some level. Something about that chill in the air and cute sweaters really gets our hearts pumping. Many people have written the rest of 2020 off. Packing up their bags and heading for 2021 as a fresh start. I too hope for a fresh start in 2021 but I have not given up hope for this year just yet. COVID has made me truly live and appreciate every day, one day at a time. You can only plan so far, then comes God. Even though I don't have a calendar full of fall events this year, I still have complied my annual fall bucket list.
