Fall

the chill in the air yesterday made me so happy!  I felt a newness coming, a change - a good one, and realized FALL is coming.  The pumpkins at trader joe's, the fall songs this morning on the kids cartoons, the cool air - all a happy reminder of what I love about fall - cozy homes, fireplaces on, beouf bourginon on the stove - a big pot of it, the warm cooking smells of soups, pies, cookies - Home!  I feel with this Fall comes a lifting of so much weight and chaos - and I welcome it like nothing else.  While I was driving yesterday I could not help but think I am thankful for the chaos and what it has taught me, and the tough stuff - I know it has made me stronger and continues to.  

*Yeah for FAll, for this day - I sit here with full assurance that my baby is playing responsibly by herself in the other room unsupervised - oh, here she comes, here comes the day!
