Ephemeral Fall

This is how I would like to remember this day. Walking home down a street wet from the day's rain, the golden trees lit by the streetlamps, sidewalks plastered with still bright leaves and this glowing garden at the end. The day's tensions fading away.

The rest of the day was a swirl of anger and frustration at work. I don't want to be surrounded by people who try to get their way by bullying. I don't want to bully people in return.

But there were bright spots - carving a pumpkin with my colleagues, sharing a few good laughs and helping some people along the way.

And now to cook!
