Changing Seasons

"It's like we're standing in the past, present, and future all at once. I like that."
This weekend has been one of those reflective weekends that reminds me of how blessed I am for my past, how happy I am today, and knowing that I have this incredible future in front of me with no idea what to expect. I spent yesterday mostly laying around because I was tired, and instead of getting mad at myself I just enjoyed it. I have been told these lazy days where I can sit around and watch silly television are soon to be filled with play dates, more soccer games, and Girl Scouts etc...who knows. What I do know is to appreciate the bittersweet transition and to try to savor the moments.
The changing leaves, crisp air, and the sounds of football fans makes this even more evident. It has only been a little over a year since we lost Dad and while each day makes it easier I still find myself thinking of him as if he is still here. It hurts each time but I know after spending 26 years with him in my life that is to be expected after only one year without.
