I as soon as had a trainer who made the entire class file outdoors to take a look at the sky on an October day. He instructed us to note the shade of blue and mentioned that it’s a colour that solely occurs in October. He inspired us to at all times bear in mind to take a second discover the October blue sky every year, as a result of time speeds by extra shortly than we’ll ever imagine doable.

I didn’t notice it might be one thing I might bear in mind virtually 20 years later (!!!) however apparently it struck a chord with me. So take a minute immediately, my darlings, and go soak in that October blue sky. It received’t final lengthy.
