Embrace it

What are you doing this month that you’re looking forward to?

I’m not really a “doer” I guess. In fact, what I’m looking forward to this month, is not doing anything. I mean besides the usual things like going to work, getting lots of steps in, making supper, being a Mom.

Although we will probably put Sid into some activity this month, maybe Tae Kwon Doe or maybe gymnastics, I’m looking forward to peace and quiet. Stillness.

The pressure of a summer vacation is gone. It’s fall time. Cozy time. Soup time (okay that’s a lie, we’re not much for soup in this house although I would like to change that).

Bella-Lena packed up her car and left for Winnipeg just now. I’ll miss her dearly but it feels like now the house goes back to “normal”.

September 1st really seems to be the nail in the coffin where summer lays. I mean sure, we might have some nice days yet, it terms of warm temps, but, it’s gone.

I’m going to love it and embrace it.

I searched “September” in my camera roll, a snippet of life in 2023, Cordelia’s grade 12 year just leaving soccer practice I think, with her lifelong friend Daynon, & Bella-Lena in Wpg attending U of M
Remember when I said that if I see someone smoking even on tv, I can smell it? Seems I’m not alone & could be a perimenopause thing

    1. I agree! I just need to find new recipes. And ones that all the picky eaters in my house will appreciate.

  2. September 1st does hit with a type of strange energy, doesn’t it? it feels like an absolute wall. I smell smoke too at times – just like cigs and I don’t smoke. it’s weird. does that mean i cannot get pregnant anymore? ;D Mike

  4. I’m doing a ‘no spend September’, which I think is just a way to slow down and regroup, so maybe a similar vibe. ❤
