A Year Ago...

I cannot even fathom that October 1st is this Friday already.  My mind will just not allow me to believe it!  I feel like, a year ago, so many things were different.  I don't feel like it was a whole year ago already?? 

A year ago, Luke and I were watching the trees change from the warmth of our small and cozy apartment in Coldwater.  Today, I'm watching the trees change colors from the 2nd floor of the CHHS building at WMU. 

A year ago, I was working my tail off at the clinic, dreaming about the day I'd be working as an OT.  Today, I'm working my tail off on homework so that I can pass my boards and become an OT.

A year ago, I was about 20 pounds lighter.  Today, I'm struggling to find time to work out and trying not to stress *which is inevitably happening* because we all know what cortisol does to your body!

As I write this, I think...I should be doing something productive right now! But the truth is, I need this time.  I need to be able to blog, vent and reflect.  I need this time to focus on "me" for a change of pace, regroup and relax. 

I feel incredibly blessed to be where we are, just one year later.  There are clearly some areas that need to be improved.  Then there are those things that I feel that I'm achieving just fine.  Regardless, it is the end of September and we are celebrating Harvest Season.  This is my favorite time of the year.  I'm just amazed at how fast it got here again. 

I guess I better get going...much to do. :)
