1. Do you have a glum feeling? Take notice and decide to fix it.

2. 
    
   Roses smell so sweet, especially the ones that smell kinda like rasberries. mmmm

   Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the smell of fall, and fresh air. Notice the bright colors.

3. 
    
   Red so bright, happy, and cozy feeling.

   Notice the beautiful fall colors. Take some pictures and get them developed right away. Look back at them in the cold, colorless winter to come. Take pictures of the brilliant leaves, pretty sunsets, and, or sunrise.

4. 
    
   See them falling

   Don't forget leaves can be so fun. Do something silly. Use your rake to rake a pile. There are several ways to enjoy. Take a big armful and throw them in the air. Have someone else do this so you can watch them fall. Jump into the pile and fall down. Lay in them and make a leaf angel.

5. 
    
   Look how cute she is, sittin' in the leaves

   Do you have a pet or a child? Pets can be fun. Let them jump around and run through the leaves. Run with them so they get the idea. If a leaf gets stuck the an ear or a tail it is an extra bonus smile. They look at you so innocent as you get a good smile or even a little laugh.
