Outside the Comfort Zone

Most of the time I tend to roll through life thinking anything is possible if you have the will..lately I find myself going with the flow instead of making things happen and I have begun to feel well somewhat lax..Perhaps it is because there has just been so much going on and despite my effort to slow things down a bit the weeks just seem to fly by..another birthday has just passed, as did Halloween and I am going strong in the day to day that is my life...I find myself longing for the Fall semester to end yet lamenting that it means the Spring semester will come before I know it and the closer I get to graduation the harder and more time consuming the classes are...but its alright no need for complaining afterall I am fortunate to just be able to have the opportunity to finish my degree..spending my Sunday taking test however is all that it takes to put me in a funk..especially when there are sick kiddos who are relentless about playing albums all throughout the day..at least my 5 year old goes to the old Warren Zevon or Linda Rondstat.. The days have turned chilly and I volunteered to run the face painting booth at the school carnival last Friday night, something that had me full of anxiety..but it worked out well despite the downpour..at least we got three good hours where it was just windy...Halloween was a blast the boys and I rode on the back of a mini pickup truck around the neighborhood and did some trick or treating and then we did 2 church festivals in 2 days..the amount of candy that remains in my house should be illegal! Tomorrow is a new day and a good nights rest may allow me to catch up with myself..I will get back to my yoga after a 2 day hiatus ( my body aches tell me its time) I will make a few phone calls to friends and family I haven't had time to catch up with this week..I will take care of my sick little man and give him lots of love and make something comforting for dinner..a glimpse of possibility in the next day of my life that lies ahead..time to get under some heavy covers, watch something on tv that I want to see and call it a night.....
