me oh my

goodness gracious. what a week. how does fall become so full?

planning. planning. planning. for birthdays. for travel. for events.

tears. tears. tears. for loss. for new beginnings. for joy.

prayers. prayers. prayers. for comfort. for patience. for love.

I fall into bed at night, exhausted. I wake up early, my head filled with to-do lists and anticipation.

the season has turned. the air is crisp. the skies a piercing blue. the evenings twinkle. blessings are all around.

just stop. you'll see.

'pray on the shadowy hillside of hardship and on the sunny hillside of happiness.'
