The Summer went by too fast.... and summer is my favorite time of year so I'm always sad to see it come to an end. I like Fall though and I don't even think about Winter because that just depresses me. :) Spring and Summer are when I am particularly spontaneous and adventurous. Those are the months that I could just pick and go and not give it a second thought. Fall, however, causes me to settle back in to life that I live. But it also inspires me to learn. I don't know, maybe it's all the people going back to school, whether by force or by choice. Or maybe it's the fact that I can't really pick up and go to the beach or even the pool anymore. Or maybe it's some underlying psychological thing.... Who knows. But every year around this time I'm ready to learn. It's funny too, because I never liked school. I'm still not a fan of "text book" learning, but hands on, bring it on. I LOVE to learn something new. Lately the ideas of the things that I want to do in life have been a bit overwhelming. If you really think about it, the possibilities are endless. And I am a women of many interests. Jack of all trades. I'll probably never complete a 4 year degree and you can pretty much forget about a masters.... that's just not me. But that doesn't mean that I'm not learning and applying. In fact, I think it's great that there are so many things that one can do with just a few months of education. Probably someone like me came up with the idea.... (I think I've developed ADD as I've gotten older). :)
On a slightly different note, but keeping with the season, I love the smell of Fall. This week there were a couple of days that smelled like Fall and I wanted to stay outside all day. There's something about that cooler air that is just so.... refreshing. One thing I miss about the north is the spectacular colors when the leaves change in the Fall. I'm headed to Pennsylvania for a few days in October and I so hoping that the leaves will be beautiful. God has given us so many lovely things in creation. It's amazing!
I know this has been a really random blog and a bit disjointed, but I just wanted to share some thoughts and my thoughts are rarely coherent.

Hey you . . . agreed on the thoughts / feelings about spring/summer and fall. I've really come to appreciate this natural rhythm of life that the seasons engender. And I miss fall back home too (though Ontario's fall kick's Maine's fall's ASS.)
Love ya
