Perfect weather

I planned to stay indoors today, but it so happened that it was 70 degrees in the afternoon! I couldn't let that go to waste, so I ended up going for a run. The weather was gorgeous. I regretted having to go back inside.

When I run, I stop thinking. I just go. When my mind goes a mile a minute, running helps to shut that voice up for a while.

But it's afterward, as I walk to cool down, that I do my best thinking. A moment of clarity and peace. I haven't had one of those sessions in a while, so it was nice. Especially with the warm, spring-like air.

The art of losing myself.

Cloudy

The view from my window.

This weather makes me feel a mixture of happy and sad, with a touch of nostalgia. Actually, heightened nostalgia, because I'm going home for the day!

I cleaned my room this morning, the first step in my quest to stop being lazy. Yay.

Fall

Happy 3rd day of September!

The weather is cooling off. This season has always typically been characterized by changes, by adjustments to a new routine, by a certain freshness that can only be found in these couple of months of the year. I think it might be my favorite. Summer has been good to me, but I'm actually looking forward to fall.

Aftermath

I survived the hurricane! Which I thought wasn't too difficult to do, since I spent my Saturday cooped up in my room, and only had intermittent power outages to deal with. I went outside today though, and there was a lot more damage than I had expected. Lots of fallen trees, traffic lights that didn't work, etc. Thank you God for keeping me safe!

In other news, on our way to church today, we hit some traffic that was unrelated to the hurricane... geese crossing the road! So cute.

Gearing up for another week of school..

Hurricane Irene

Windy, rainy day. Hopefully it'll just stay like this.. love this weather! Makes me want to stay inside, relax, and be cozy.
