Is that fall I feel?

So per my last post about negativity and my own personal realization that with a new job, life stressors and constant adjustments I need to make a conscious effort to enjoy the small things I am spending my crisp Saturday morning waking up slow, drinking a large cup of strong coffee and enjoying the gray turned pink sky that the sunrise is providing for me.  The sunrises this week have been spectacular, of course I never snapped a picture…I need to work on that, and I have been able to spend an additional few minutes each commute enjoying the sunrise as a bridge in Louisville has been shut down this week for repairs!  Let me explain further… I live by the Ohio River and almost EVERYTHING in my life (i.e. church, shopping, work) involves crossing one of the limited number of Ohio River bridges.  This closure has definitely left a kink in everyone’s travel plans but at least God gave us some pretty sunsets, right? 

I rarely take my time on Saturday morning.  I tend to overbook myself, I actually tend to overbook my overbooking and while I can admit that I have a long To Do list that I am hiding from I decided that today needed to be started slowly.  These first few days of fall-like weather are some of my favorite for the year.  The cool, crisp mornings and evenings and the crunch of fallen leaves under my feet provide calm from the summer chaos and require a moment of reflection.  How is it already mid-September?  2011 has definitely been a year of changes, adventures and life lessons.  Living in Indy with Harlowe Rose for 6 months, graduating from graduate school, getting my first “big girl” job and loving what I am doing.  God is good. 

Okay… so maybe my To Do list is calling but before I sign off I hope that you can have a beautiful Saturday morning…even if your weather is not yet crisp or cool.
