i don't have much time or energy to write and my computer is running out of battery.  i'll do what we all do in such small talk times: imma talk about the weather.  

it's getting cold.

and part of me loves the change.  i get excited about winter and christmas and the cold and warm coffee in the afternoon and watching the sunset from work.  i love wearing scarves and coats and feeling the wind beat through them, just ever so slightly.  

but at times, winter is oh so tough.  it's dark, it's cold, i have a harder time being active and hakim hates it (see monday's post).  it can feel a bit lonely and isolating.  

so, i feel a bit mixed about the change.  and i guess that's part of what i love about fall.  it's refreshing and beautiful but it's also the ultimate season of change.  i love looking back upon the summer and the excitement that it brought, looking forward to the winter and the new life that it will bring, and living in the moment (preferentially with apple cider).
