Trying to get it over with

I am a rip the Band-Aid off kind of girl.

Get it over with already...

So, the slow goodbyes are really hard for me.

It seems to me, that incremental pain

Hurts exponentially.

There are life lessons here I am sure. 

Underneath the feelings of disappointment 

and failure. 

and recovery. 

 

Winding Down

Final bursts of color

and lights 

and yellow and brown leaves 

as we wind down this 

very

very

very 

interesting year. 

It has been a year of moving, and changes

and passion and collapse

and so much more. 

I feel a need for some quiet thinking 

and pondering what is next.

breaktime

Autumn colored kitties,
and backyard breaks
cleaning and clearing
endings and beginnings
uptime and downtime
plans and schemes
cool mornings
sunny afternoons
and restful nights
much work 
we are getting it done.

down home

I had a taste of the south, it was inspiring, energizing
and tiring all at once.
Now I am ready to roll up my sleeves
and dive into it.
Searching, freeing, cleaning,
packing and prepping.
Writing, pushing, reading
and voting.
In a glorious mixed up mess,
Together.

Old Windows, New Opportunties

Doors and windows close

new ones open
new pathways and new experiences
new people and new opportunities.
But we move on always with a little sadness
for what we left behind.
