Did you just hear that song run through your head? It ran through mine. Very loudly.
School starts today! My son is already in class, and my daughter will be there in an hour. Already it feels right. I woke up at 6am, which is not my 5am time which I aim to get back to, but it certainly is closer than I’ve gotten in weeks. I’ve written out my gratitudes and affirmations, I’ve written two notecards (thank-you notes to lovely friends who have donated ice cream to my children’s stomachs), and I’m showered and have some time to sit and warm up to today before it actually starts.
I’ve missed this. I’ve missed it a lot.
I had a schedule this summer for blogging. I had a short fiction challenge. I failed at both and have earned a lesson for next summer. I may develop another schedule, or revamp the challenge, but for now, I just want to start doing the things I left behind for three months.
