Cycling

Just 48 hours ago, I was cranking up the air conditioner, and today, all of the house windows are open and it's 20 degrees cooler outside. Already, a few stray leaves are changing color. Fall is upon us.

As the seasons cycle through, I find myself cycling through different moods, different levels of acceptance. Some days are great and the natural hum or the household brings me total joy. Other days are a struggle and it all feels like a fight to get it even nominally in sync. The ebb and flow of family life, I guess.

My oldest is back at college and he is missed. I've got two boys who are high school seniors so the college hunt is intense. My sophomore stepson is off to a good start this school year; I am grateful. My little dude, now in 8th grade, is picking up all of the teenage attitude that I've come to know so well.

Married life is good. Like all parts, there are highs and then those other, less-connected times. But I am lucky to have the Mr. and I'm pretty sure he still feels the same.

Until next time, flow with the seasons and choose happy.
