on clicking publish

it is coming to the end of the second month... and i have yet to post this year.  i have a handful of drafts with just a few lines or titles written...but finding the right image or having the words fall exactly into place has held me back from clicking the ever so terrifying publish button. so today, i set my goal for march.  i will let go of my fears and make a conscious effort to click it.

case of the mondays...

"allow yourself to be a beginner. no one starts off excellent."

it was dark when my alarm went off this morning...my eyes barely open i knew i could have stayed in bed all day.. its safe to say i have been experiencing a case of the mondays for a few weeks now. i've been in a slump. its hard to admit, but its true.  its almost as if i missed these last few weeks because i was stuck in my own head, in my own space, with a constant stream of thoughts who ranged from totally cynical to utterly optimistic. the challenges and realizations that have come my way the last few weeks need to time to settle in and i am going to remind myself that i am beginning again and not all days will feel like a monday.

"life starts all over again when it gets crisp in fall." -f. scott fitzgerald   

as the seasons change, i find routines do too. my morning routine most noticeably... staying tucked in under the warmth of a perfectly tousled duvet just a little longer is always more appealing than the alternative. 

fall=nesting. my urge to nest becomes terribly hard to ignore. you know how it is, the more time you spend curled up on the couch with a throw blanket and pumpkin spice candle burning the more time you spend dreaming about the perfect glass door cabinet for the kitchen corner that currently holds all that random kitchen-y stuff that you need to keep but have no where to put it.. or worse the do-it-yourself projects that you start but never actually complete.. 

but oh how i do love the opportunity of a fresh start. here's to october and the air getting crisp.
