There is something very lovely about September melting away. For me, it's a kick in the behind to get motivated - but I am deeply aware of a transition of time occurring. The flowers are beginning to fade and the leaves are dropping from the trees. The morning air feels crisp and oh how I love to breathe deep, to pull that cool calmness in. I don't see this season as an end of what was...but a simple regrouping to prepare the world for what will be. School has begun and my credential classes are in full swing...never have I been so busy, but I love it. It's not about if I can do this or not. It's not even about what will be the breaking point. Last night as I watched a fellow classmate in tears wondering how they were going to manage their time and work to survive...I realized it's all about prayer. It's true that what is expected of us is unreasonable (budget cuts equate to combining the winter semester with the fall and spring)...but the outcome is worth it. Next spring when the flowers sprout, we will have forgotten all about how this season helped to prepare us for what will undoubtedly be beautiful.

I've never understood how people who don't pray get by...
I sure do agree with your friend, Irene.
As far as "frazzled", I wouldn't know since I've NEVER been that way. muhahahahaha
My daughter is feeling so frazzled these days, adjusting to living away from home, keeping up with her homework, studying, and all of the other pressures put on her by her sorority. I'm going to forward this to her. Thanks, Joni!
Without prayer...I'd be Lost!!hughugs

Have a cup of coffee and take a deep breath!
Fall is on it way for sure,
God Bless you Joni
Peace. Prayer. Same thing.
Wishing you peaceful fall term.
I am loving the shift of the seasons - and trying, too, to balance life, the budget, etc. Morning coffee always seems to help!
: ))
I really agree with this post and I am feeling frazzled myself lately. Maybe some chocalate gravy and biscuits would help.
I literally sighed when reading this Joni. Just your site calms me down. I'm sorry for stopping by lately...my loss. Hugs :)
