Where I live the days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisp and cooler. As the leaves on the trees paint themselves into a myriad of beautiful colors before they fall to the ground, the birds, squirrels, and other animals outside are getting ready for winter.
There is something so beautiful about this time of year. The temperature is wonderful – you don’t get baked by the heat of the sun yet you only need to wear a light jacket to stay warm.
Sometimes, as a writer, I get stuck. And right now I think I’m stuck…
I get ideas, I work on them, come up with a story, and then I read it and don’t feel like it’s ready to let go. So I put the story on a shelf hoping that some day I will come back to it, get inspired, fix it, finish it, and release it – once I get the words right.

One of the hardest days of my life was the day that I dropped my daughter off for the first time at college.
I lingered as long as I could when I brought her there. We moved her in, made her bed, and took her to the grocery store to stock her room with college student snack essentials. When it was finally time to go we looked at each other with the greatest of trepidations, hugged, and parted. I got in the car just in time for her to not see the tears in my eyes that I got when I saw them in hers.
