Fall is such a fabulous season. It just feels so peaceful, even though our lives are incredibly hectic. I guess it's just such a "cozy" season...not yet frigid, but chilly enough for jackets and blankets. I also love the fact that in September we can give both the a/c and the furnace a rest. The kids are in school and have learned the routine...and life just feels as though it is chugging along well.
Adding to my peaceful feeling is the fact that I'm not working...and I really, really feel more content than I may have ever felt in my life. It could be because I am introvert at heart and having nearly eight hours of alone time a day is certainly a benefit! :) But I think it's just that I love this moment with my family, and I love being in these moments. At the same time, Andrew's car is "iffy", my van just needed new front brakes, our garage freezer died and we replaced it, and the kids' activity fees are going to kill us! They aren't even that involved...it's just that even school activities now come with a pretty hefty price. Knowing that this can't last (fingers crossed through the holidays, but I may have to find a way to sub sooner) makes me appreciate what we have right now even more.
I am so grateful for this peaceful feeling...and hoping I can continue to use it for motivation in life each day!
