October is not even half way over and it’s already a whirlwind! For me at least. It’s a beautiful time of year though and I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would. That’s a big deal for an October-hater like me. ;) Just kidding (kind of).

I kind of just threw myself into the working world this week. I’m really happy about it because I’ve had too many months having too much time on my hands. Now the time that I have off is the sweetest gift.

Today, a few years ago, my grandma passed away. Tomorrow will be the anniversary of my grandfather’s death. Later on this week will be my Aunt Linda’s birthday which will just be happy and sad and heavy all at once. These are some of the reasons why October is hard, but every year it gets a little better. I’m thankful for my family and my friends, as well as beautiful solitude. Life is really beautiful even if sometimes it feels awful.

I hope you are all having a nice Sunday, and I hope the fall weather is lovely wherever you are. :)
