Falling...
Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 8:02AM It’s 6:45am on a Saturday. I woke up this morning feeling alive. I got dressed and headed out to get a cup of coffee. Thankfully, I live within walking distance to a couple of great coffee shops. I walked outside and had to side-step the biggest slug I’ve ever seen AND he was leopard print – impressive. The fall air washed over me. I was dressed for hot yoga in shorts and a long sleeve shirt, but my legs were definitely chilled. I thought about going into change before taking my coffee walk, but I gratefully appreciated the feel of fall on my skin and decided to go with it.
I took a minute to really breathe in. There were a couple of sleep-eyed people out walking their dogs. It seemed like the only 2 people out doing that had pugs, which I found to be a bit coincidental and funny. The streets were quiet – only a few cars passed by. I got my coffee, had some witty banter about the weather with the barista and then headed back home.
As I was walking back, one of the trees in the distance caught my eye. The leaves were falling to the ground… They looked like golden specks from where I was, but I could see them clearly. Wow. It’s already fall…time is flying.
Some of you probably read the title and thought – “this must be a blog about Megan falling in love with someone…FINALLY!” Um, no. But – I am falling back in love with life, with God, with my job, with every breath… It’s true, I don’t have anyone to wake up to, roll and say the famous 3 words that everyone so longs to hear. BUT, I am able to whisper them to God and to be thankful for where my life is at this moment.
At 6:45am on a Saturday. I woke up this morning feeling alive but already letting my mind spin on the spin cycle of all that I have to do today. I’m always going to have a never-ending list of things to do, but I’m so glad that I took a few minutes to fall…
