Autumn is a beautiful time of the year with leaves changing color.  It is also a time for accepting things as they are or have become.  Leaves fall, vegetables fade and everything is becoming settled, peaceful, quiet and calm.  The days become shorter than the nights.

Spend time in nature and you might just be curing what ails you. Easier said than done, you might say. After all, the weather in Belgium isn't always kind to those who spend time in the outdoors. Those gloomy grey skies with the ever present rain clouds? How can they amount to any good apart from keeping Belgium a very green place to live? And what about all the puddles, mud and cold weather? It doesn't sound like the recipe for a fun time (although you have to admit, it sure looks like fun when you see scouts running around in shorts and muddy boots in the parks on the weekends).
