September



September

As I sit here on my back porch sipping coffee, and reading my Bible I find it hard to believe that the month of September is almost behind us. 

What saddens me most is that it appears that I have lost my desire to write. Perhaps that has more to do with a life that has become so simplified that it lends itself to very little reflection. 

Each day seems to fold right into the next as each week and month does the same. Where I once looked more at life as an opportunity for adventure or growth I have become more complacent about how I spend my days. 

I must admit I am happy that fall weather has arrived early this year. Sitting on the porch enjoying the cool breeze does seem to awaken my spirits. Chuck will be taking the coming week off, and we have a few plans to explore some neighboring communities we have not visited before. 

I will say, though, that traveling to Comanche mid-week has been the highlight of my days. Getting to spend time watching the boys, and getting to actually teach Casen has brought a spark back to my life. Knowing that I’m contributing to Brittany being able to work uninterrupted has also brought me great pleasure. 

As I’ve eluded to before Chuck and I have some big plans in the near future, but I’ll save those for another day. I just didn’t want to let the entire month get away from me without checking in.
