I can’t believe it’s already that time of year again.  The temperature has suddenly dropped this week and I can feel that winter chill starting to roll in.  It feels refreshing yet so strange to wake up in the morning and actually turn the heater on in my car.  This past summer has been the hottest I can remember.  And I think the best summer of my life.  But change is inevitable.  Leaves are starting to slowly turn to their beautiful hues of gold, brown and maroon.  I’m ready to take a trip to the mountains and I will probably do that after my lay off.    For some odd reason, this time of year always brings about so many changes for me.  It always peaks around December or January and then things have a tendency to become somewhat normal again.  My papa is in the hospital with serious problems, I’ve met a new guy whom treats me like royalty and I’ve fallen head over heels in love with, my job is going away, there’s so many birthdays in October (including my own), my little brother AND my best friend are engaged and I’m getting used to living on my own.  I wonder what else will happen in this magical time of year?  So this is my last Tuesday being 26.  Time is an odd thing.  I have a love hate relationship with this fellow called time.  Every year I learn more about myself, the world, make new friends, experience new things … and that’s wonderful.  But I miss the past a lot too.  So many memories I’d like to revisit.  Eventually my time machine will be up and running and I will be back.  For now, I have lots to look forward to.  I’m so excited/horrified about jumping into a new career and I’ve found a wonderful man to keep me company on this crazy ride.

Au revoir last Tuesday of being 26.  I wouldn’t have changed a thing about you!!!  You are perfect and were meant to be just as you were.  No regrets.  Just smiles and tears of happiness.    :)
