I am so grateful that I am surrounded by people who fill my life with whimsical adventures, who always put a smile on my face and who have the ability to make any place feel like home.
Yesterday I went to Truckee for the day with my house mates. We went to the beach for a picnic and pulled out our ukuleles to play some music. Pages of my journal were filled with insightful thoughts. I love it when I can look around and see nature all around me; when I can inhale and smell the fragrance of wildlife (and slight sent of smoke). This weekend has been a hectic few days with all that's going on, all that's being taught in my classes, all that's happening in my life, and prominently, all that's being burned. Although thousands of acres have been lost to the flames and turned to ash, places that have sacred meanings and hold beautiful memories will be cherished in many hearts including mine.
As school is getting into a rhythm again, I am trying to handle the work that I have and include social time and time for myself to recharge where I have been worn out by the stress, activity and confusion that life often brings.
I have my ukulele to calm my mind and ease my head and I have a supportive family to do just the same. I hope everyone has a beautiful cloudy windy day. Fall is whispering in the air today. I am looking forward to rain boots, wood stoves, and layering up to go outside.
Have a wonderful Autumn day.
