Catching Up

School started, and the kid was so excited that she was up at 4:44 a.m. the first day. 6:01 a.m. she was trying to get out the door. I am not sure why but she was certain that she must carry her lunch box (empty) to school with her, in her hand even though it attaches to the backpack. It's a short kid thing.

The idea of getting up at 5 in the morning is not appealing, and it took me half the summer to break the habit. Now I have to get back into to it so next summer I guess I'll just give up and not alter my sleeping habits. Now I have to catch up on all the work I fell behind on during the school year.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
