Seeing the Yellow Light

I declare summer officially over – Official when I started back to my first grad class of fall quarter which has now been a full week ago…However I can’t complain…I LOVE the fall…for as long as I can remember it has been my favorite season! Just the thought of watching college football, wearing hoodies, drinking hot apple cider, picking pumpkins, walking in the brisk air, and plopping down amidst the colorful leaves makes me almost giddy!!! :)

But, I’ve found with the transition of the seasons comes a time to reflect and reevaluate…My summer was FULL – more full than I can remember any season of my life ever being…It involved LOTS of volleyball action, meals at Steak n Shake, an online grad class to contend with, and buying and moving into my very own brand new condo just as a start…I’m sure I spent no more than a handful of evenings at home alone the entire season, and while I enjoyed every minute of my full summer, I can’t help but recognize as the beautiful autumn season comes into focus, it’s beyond time for me to slooooww dooowwwn…

I’ve had enough of those going into work exhausted kind of mornings and with TWO grad classes vying for my attitude of responsibility to emerge…I think it’s time I heed the yellow light that is glaring at me on the road to the entrance of fall.
