I haven't posted for a month, and I can feel it. When I stress out, I want to write, but usually being too busy is the cause of the stress, which means I don't make enough time to write. It's a vicious circle, and one that I will be running more often than not. It's like being a hamster on a wheel...running and running and never really getting anywhere but worn out. But, enough whining.
It's another beautiful, if cold, October morning in northeastern Indiana. The sun is shining and the sky is a brilliant, clear blue. There are still leaves on the trees, but there are also leaves on the ground. Each tree is wearing a different shade of green, orange, and red. As the wind blows the leaves on the driveways and streets, they sound like rain falling. But, until the rain actually comes in November, the fall here will be beautiful.
We're headed to my mom and step-dad's lake house tonight and will stay over night there. The hubs and step-dad will fish into the dark and cold late evening. A campfire might possibly be burning later as well, and my kids will enjoy looking up at the stars while they eat s'mores. As long as they don't irritate each other, or me, it will be a perfect evening with family. I'm looking forward to this mini retreat and to getting away from the mess of my own house, though it's only for a short time.
For the first time in two weeks, this hamster is getting of her wheel, even if just for a day.
