When Autumn Closes Its Bars… I Find My Bubbles of Calm 🍂

The fall chill arrived suddenly this year. I know, I’m Canadian, I should expect it… but my God, it’s freezing! In the morning, mid-August you wake up and it’s 9 °C. Yes, nine!

I feel the cold through my whole body. I can’t walk outside for long, and even indoors I feel it. It’s as if a window closes shut, and I call it a prison. No joy in going outside, and when the snow comes, it’s just about trying not to fall flat on my face.

So I ask myself: am I depressed… or just realistic?

My body, my rhythm

My true autumn zen moment happens on my patio. I harvest my cannabis flowers, remove the leaves, and prepare them for drying. I put on a movie or a podcast, and I relax. It may sound simple, but it’s my little excitement of the season.

It’s also the only medication that helps me with pain, without side effects. With my medical license, it gives me not only relief but also a precious sense of autonomy in my daily life.

Not much of a life? Really?

I could say: “I don’t have much of a life.” But in reality… I do, just a different one. Maybe I don’t run marathons, maybe I don’t go on weekend road trips, but I have my rituals.

Autumn isn’t only a prison. It’s also a season where I create my own little joys, in my bubble, in my own way.

👉 And you, what’s your little ritual that keeps you going when autumn closes its bars? 🎃🍵
