It's That Time of Year
Friday, November 20, 2009 at 04:30PM The leaves have all fallen and have mostly been picked up out of our front yard. This week we had three straight days of cold rain. I saw the sun today and told Pat and Zane "we're going out!" You'd think I would be used to this weather change by now but every year it seems to hit me.
This year in particular it's hitting me how fast the year has gone by. Are we really getting our Christmas decorations out soon and stuffing ourselves with turkey next week? How did that happen? I start to reflect on the year and torment myself wondering if I spent enough time with Zane, with my husband, and I already know the answer to my friends, I have barely seen them! I can't get that time back and I need to readjust as this year comes to a close. I keep reminding myself that it's good to reflect but that I also need to pick up those pieces and stop some of those habits. Time to make some positive change as the weather changes for the worse. No earth shattering changes, more minor things, and trying to find a schedule that our whole family can enjoy and feel like we have some personal time too.
So here's to the bare trees, to the chilly winds and the gray skies. I see and feel you and I'm going to be okay with you this year. You just bring about some time to think and revamp with a new attitude and focus on relationships for the end of the year and next.
And even though the trees are bare now I can look at these photos from a couple weeks ago and laugh. We had a moment, several moments, where our family enjoyed the fall air and jumped in the leaves with belly laughs.
