after a busy summer, i suddenly find myself in autumn. it's just a little more cold, dark and wet. the trees haven't completely shed their leafs yet, but they are thinking about it.
over the past couple of weeks i think i was experiencing the transition, but maybe wasn't full accepting it. to me the changing of the seasons is always bit brutal. it's why rituals, traditions, festivities exist... to make the transition go properly.
this year i haven't been able to take a real moment yet; i've been to occupied with work and helping out. also, i made a real effort to push through on my personal projects. possibly to the detriment of my energy levels, but i think it has been good to allow my own expression a bit more space.
but all of this to say, i am now here in autumn. and i'm scrambling to get adjusted into the season and make a real go of it. what events should i put on the calendar, will i buy the new pokémon game? do i get back into my exercise routine, will i dial down on my work ethic, take it more easy... or do i need to make a final sprint to sound out the year with more achievements?
to be honest, as busy as i've been this year, i already feel somewhat accomplished. there's maybe a few things at work.. and i do want to hit a few milestones with my personal projects, but i don't think there's a huge goal. or an effort to be made that is all consuming.
so yeah... autumn is here. let's get cozy. maybe play a game. relax a little. sleep a few more hours. be nice. be warm. take care of yourself.
