Falling for Fall with Family
By: Ronda Nissley, Co-Director of Encompass Connection Center 
​
I really enjoy the Fall season here in Ohio. There’s nothing quite like having front row seats to the changing and vibrant colors of the trees as the weather turns cooler. But there’s more. As I reflect on what I like about Fall, I came up with the following list: 

• Vibrant color of the trees 
• Cooler days and nights 
• Settling into a routine after hectic summers 

• Cozy sweaters 
• Warm soups and bread 
• All things pumpkin spice 
• Fall harvest 
• Thanksgiving Holiday 

These things are even better when experienced with a loved one. Here’s a few ideas: 
​

• Take a drive through the countryside to experience the changing scenery together.  
• Snuggle up together under a blanket as you watch TV.  
• Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte.  
• Make your own soup and bread together.  

• Plan a memorable Thanksgiving with family and friends. 

For me, Thanksgiving has always felt like the culmination of the Fall season. It’s a time to gather with family and friends while enjoying good food and fellowship. It’s a time to express gratitude to those most important to us and experience the many benefits associated with a life of gratitude. For inspiration, read “7 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Gratitude That Will Motivate You to Give Thanks Year-Round.” What are your favorite Fall things? What do you like to do with spouse of family to experience these things? ​
