Changes in the wind

Each morning first thing, I check my weather.

How I get my weather

Next I check my texts.

not a phone that is smarter than me

I could go through the morning routine without a word spoken.

Some days this summer, while my son was on fires and my husband working, I felt as though I spent the morning in "mental telepathy" mode.

Don't get me wrong, I love the modern conveniences and prefer to get the news I wish and not some headlines thrown into my hearing from a radio or t.v. personality who doesn't care how it will effect me.

But this life is so different from the days of my little ones being home, and well, little.

I became a morning person out of self defense when my kids were little. Now I am an evening person out of self defense to keep connected with my girls who are college students. I want to keep connected and often 10 or 11 pm are the best times to connect with them. I am so thankful for the mobile connections.

So, I will go through my silent mornings and enjoy that I don't have to speak, while remembering the days of fashion police and making lunches.

I have a new change coming in mid October. After months of looking for a job and having Four different times had one in my hands, but having them tell me something was wrong, they would not be able to hire me... it does appear this one will stick. Wait upon the Lord and He will renew your strength.

Now I will enjoy the falling leaves and prepare my life for a change of season.

Here are a few pictures of the last high school graduation that just made their way to me. This happened two days before The Wedding.
