Could someone tell me how it got to be Friday already? I am a bit stunned as to how fast the week has passed. Suddenly, I find myself looking right in the face of October. Wasn't it just summer? How is it possible that my baby is turning four in a few weeks?
The other day Martha commented that I sound happy, and as soon as I read it I was struck with how true that is. Right now, I just feel happy about my life. The kicker is that nothing is really any different than it was last year. And yet everything is different. I am different. Amazing what a change of perspective can do, right? But then, I've said that already this week. I just can't mention it enough though. The only person ever in your life you will change is yourself. And when you make those changes, you will be stunned at how different the relationships around you become. When you are feeling stressed about your children, or your workplace, your marriage...just look inward and deicde what you can do differently. Really and truly, you will be shocked at the transformation of those relationships.
With this newfound relaxed outlook, I am dreaming of apple-cheddar crisps and earl grey tea. Inexpensive family night spent on the hide-a-bed in the living room with a movie and popcorn. The girls love it when we pull out the bed to watch movies. Maybe I'll make some onion soup to celebrate the wonderful crisp evenings we've been having. And I think next week, with the beginning of October, it will be time for a fall manifesto...because our Mayor and Vice-Mayor of Fall have declared the season officially open. So go grab some plaid flannel and get cozy! Have a great weekend!
