an extra morning.

I set my alarm last night for 8:00 a.m. this morning.
Subconsciously I knew I wouldn't wake up until 8:30.
I also knew that I would probably be skipping tumbling but making it in time for swimming class (11:30 a.m.).

Funny how you make these plans in your head but your heart is just not into it :] I ended up enjoying a fall morning to myself. I took an extra morning. Did a little devo time with a warm bowl of oatmeal, threw in a load of wash, went for a fall jog/walk, made a cup of coffee (yes...I officially like coffee), scrubbed up and just sat down to discuss my thoughts of this fall morning.

Just like my friend (and almost birthday girl!) Katie Burley, fall is by far my favorite time of year. The sweatshirts snuggles, hot beverage tickles in my throat, the crisp fall air in my lungs on a run, the COLORS, the reminder of where I started some of my best friendships, and the beginnings of holiday festivities. It's magical.

I just wanted to check up on my blogging readers. Remind you to find something great about today. God's spirit is the wind and his passion for us is in those colors outside. Try to take an extra morning this week to take it all in...I promise you it will be worth missing how to do back handsprings and learning the backstroke.
