Seasonal Changing

by Stacy Colombo

Now that we are pretty deep into the fall season and with winter just on the horizon, write about a time when you experienced a change in your life metaphorically similar to the change of seasons. Did you change an appearance or attitude? Did you "shed a layer" per say? Why did you do so? Was it worth it? Would you do it again? Why? Did you like the turnout? Why?
