This week the rains came. Fall has arrived and I am ready. Waking up to rain soothes me as I get to stay inside and watch tv under a blanket or read with the door open, listening to drops fall on the ground. 
This week I also realized that I say "please" and "thank you" because I am courteous, not because it is warranted or appreciated or even sincere. Manners, please.
I painted three 4x6 canvasses this week and love them all. 
Each one takes on a life of its own and the end product is always just what I want.
Yesterday I started typing up the recipes we've collected in the past three years. The really good ones that we make over and over but until now were just computer print outs of internet recipes. Zucchini grinders, fluffy pancakes, crock pot chicken, and so on. 
Today was movie day. For $7.50 we saw two movies. Deal!

As Week 4 of Fall Rest begins, I am enjoying my break more and more. I give myself time and make goals to practice guitar, meditate, read, talk to rocks, walk, whatever my body and soul want to do.
