Something major happens on the first day of October (and, sometimes, the first day of September) every year:
The menu at your favorite coffee shop changes. Just a little. But it is a very big deal. And so begins Pumpkin Spice Latte season. At least one of your Facebook friends will share the famous McSweeney's article, It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers. 
Trader Joe's will be so over-the-top pumpkin and apple cider EVERYTHING -- including, and especially, those amazing Raisin Rosemary and Fig Olive Crisps... WHICH NOW, FOR A LIMITED TIME, COME IN PUMPKIN CRANBERRY. 
You're going to have the most amazing time ever in a pumpkin patch, haunted house, or corn maze... 
Your neighbors are going to start decorating their yards with outrageously spooky decorations, which make every dog walk, drive to work, and stroll to the mailbox so much more wondrous and exciting... that you will want to give them a treat (it's called #ReverseTrickOrTreating)! 
And don't even get me started on the Halloween parties! 
It's gonna feel like the most wonderful time of the year... until Thanksgiving. Then Christmas, then President's Day, then Valentine's Day. Then those are going to feel like the most wonderful time of the year. Unless... you're an uninspired sourpuss with no imagination. Someone would rather call the simple joys in life "basic" or "commercialized" than put in the minimal amount of effort it takes to make them special and enjoy them. After all, as I wrote in I'd Rather Be "Basic" Than... Whatever Boring Thing You Are: While you're grumbling about how ugly Uggs are, I'll be dancing through a corn maze in my wellies — and if someone tries to beat me to the end, they'd better watch out! I play rough! I would always rather be someone who is totally enchanted by the wind chimes in her neighborhood... than someone who looks, but never sees. I would always rather be someone who travels because she loves to travel... than someone who needs to travel in order to feel excitement about the world around her. 
I would always rather be someone who can enjoy karaoke completely sober.... than someone who stays in and watches Netflix, despite its shows being offensively bad. 
And I would always rather be "basic" with my puffy vests and my pumpkin spice lattes... than be scornful of people who are joyfully immersed in the changing seasons. Call me crazy... but I think these habits and attitudes are the way to a happy, exciting, and fulfilling life. *** Want to know more? Check out:

My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my EX-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet for help, I searched properly and I saw different reviews of Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via what's app on (+2348167159012). He gave me reason to live again and he prepared a spell and told me that my Ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it, my EX-boyfriend came back to me and our wedding will be held Soon. Contact him now!!! if you need any help. Email: [email protected] and he does a lot of spells. Once again i want to say am very grateful for your help

How Dr Wale made life easy for me. I was in love with my high school girlfriend. We grew up together with strong love and sweet understanding. We were living peacefully together with ourselves. But here is how things started going wild for us. My woman works in a different city far away from me, So the best way of getting in touch is through communicating on the phone. But after five months, Our communication started slowing down. Whenever I call her she'll say she's busy and that she'll call me back when she's done with everything. That day will finish without her calling back, It's continue for months till I decide to pay her a surprise visit in the city where she works. After some few days with her I found out that my woman has been having an affair with his boss in the office. When I tried to question her about it, She told me that she was done with me and she doesn't want us to continue anymore. Those words broke my heart into pieces to the point that I almost took my life. Before going to my city she blocked me on all her social media handles. I went back to my city with deep pain inside of me, I was depressed and felt betrayed by her actions. After some months still living in pain and bitterness I told a friend of mine about the issues, My friend told me he'II introduced me to Dr Wale he said that Dr Wale is the only man that can bring back my happiness. He said to me his marriage is perfect today with the help of Dr Wale. When I reached out to Dr Wale and told him everything that was going on he told me to be calm and that I'II be a happy man again. Dr Wale instructed me to make payment for Items needed. The magic started when my woman gave me a call two days later crying on the phone begging me to please have mercy on her. She said she doesn't know what came over her that made her behave badly. We're now back together living happily again like we used to before. I wanna give all thanks to Dr Wale for making everything possible and for bringing my woman back to me. If you need any kind of help Dr Wale is the right man to contact.
