The seasons in a day :
By Cheyenne Headley

You begin your day fresh and new, full of ideas and promises to yourself to do better. Whatever it is that you wish were different, whether it be to eat healthier, to work out more, to learn something new, or to be kinder. This is your conviction to do and be better. When the day is new, you’re excited and motivated to start. However, the air is cold and the ground is covered in snow. The trees are bare and life seems frozen in time. You’d rather stay home and sip your favorite warm beverage while cuddled up with a blanket and some fuzzy socks. Time passes by and it’s still cold out, but now the air is filled with love and red decorations adorn the stores.its the shortest time span of today.

As the day goes on, it begins to warm. The snow that had been falling from the wintry sky turns darker and wetter. It begins to rain, rain, and rain. The air grows warmer, and life begins to move outside. The trees sprout leaves and blossom, the animals emerge from their homes, and it finally feels like the world has begun to move again. You toss out the heavy coat and opt for a light jacket. This is the time of day where the weather is temperamental like a newborn child. One minute it can be sunny and calm,and  the next minute the rain will hammer the earth. Its okay though, because time moves on and the day begins to change once again.

It’s now the hottest time of day, the trees are all green and the world is alive with movement. Time seems to move slower at this point, and the day drags on. You exchange your windbreakers for shorts and t-shirts, just trying to beat the heat.

Eventually, the air begins to cool, and the leaves on the trees begin to turn colors of yellow, orange and red. Activity begins to quiet down, and things seem to calm. It’s filled with laughter and banquets of food. Although you wish this time would last forever, the stage that comes next is exciting and you’ve waited all day for it to come.

The air grows chilly again, but this time it’s not so bad. The promise of what this weather brings is thrilling. The world is lit up with lights and decorations, the air is filled with song, and everyone seems to be in a happy mood.

However, the day grows colder and colder, and you wish for it to end. You long for the day to start anew as the sky grows darker. Before you know it, it’s a new day and it’s time to go through the stages once again. 

Until next time,
