September is winding down. The weather has shifted from the dry-ish heat (in Bellingham it is always a little muggy) to alternating between rain and a heavy, muggy heat like cloths coming out of the dryer that are not quite dry. College students have descended and the number of drivers making the roads dangerous for local drivers and bike commuters has risen exponentially. My oldest son is starting kindergarten, I'm starting a class at the community college, the leaves are changing, and we have just moved for the second time in seven months.
Second time is seven months does not sound quite as dramatic or challenging as it really is, packing and sifting through stuff and letting go of where you have lived and watched kids grow is emotionally and physically demanding. And after a full weekend of moving its back to the grind on Monday morning. So, here I am. Incidentally, the beginning of school also marks a return to my blog.
It has been a rather long sabbatical from blogging, the challenge of sticking to a routine while I was unemployed has changed now that I am employed. It has been hard to revive the quite, early mornings I was so accustomed too just a year ago, as life changes so do habits and routines but I always find a way back to quite mornings before the family and the day has risen. In many ways its frustrating that my morning regimen slipped away during the summer, I missed the early morning sun, the cool summer mornings, the subtle change from 5 a.m. light to dark, dawn is a long time in coming at the end of September but the day is quick to start.
