It's coming

I can feel it ~ "it's in the air" as they say. Autumn. Even though I slept hot last night with nothing more than a sheet, my body (or maybe my mind?) just knows. After 37 years in Pennsylvania maybe I smell it? Maybe my body can tell that the sun is lower in the sky? I stopped using an alarm clock years ago, because my body just knows when to wake up ~ maybe it's something like that?

I'm home alone today, John took the boys to EM for what may be, one of the last swims of the year... So, I'm packing up and pulling out. Cleaning up and playing about. And I have lots of time to think, reflect, dream and imagine. I love these days...I putter about, cleaning (which I love), and it re energizes my creative juices. I'm scrapbooking a few pages today too. I'm actually scrapping my first page about ME! I think with our anniversary on Thursday and my birthday tomorrow, I'm realizing that I really want to get my thoughts down on paper, my dreams, just some stuff about me. I want to leave stuff for my kids so they know who I was at each point in my life, what I was thinking about, what I was frustrated about, what my hopes were... I have to continually remind myself to celebrate me and who I am. Sometimes hard I know ~ we have a tendency to put "me" last huu?

Well, I'm going back to cleaning, creating, celebrating and drinking my fresh mint iced tea which I brewed this morning ~ might be the last batch of the year...
