fall is in the air
Oct 13 2008 01:53

It is a little cooler here in Texas and that slight fall tinge is in the air these past few nights.  I love it. I can't wait until the first real cold snap below 32, to get rid of these giant size skeeters that IKE brought us when he blew in.  Hubby and I got busy today and he vacuumed and washed all three of our vehicles and I detailed them with armorall. that was a job, but felt like we had accomplished something after we were done.  we are going to sell our beloved cobra, I hate to see her go,but well life changes and priorities change so we must move on.  we are paying ins. on a car we rarely ever drive so it is for the best.  Getting  used to the changes that life throws at us is not always easy. It is the ones that adapt to the ever changing parade  that we call life that have the easiest time. I am trying to learn. There is what we had in mind our life should be, then there is the reality. the two don't always mesh.  I believe everyone has coping mechanisms, for some maybe it is a familiar blanket or  a favorite pillow.  For some of us it is food. Or for some of us in may be a combination of several things. change is hard I am learning that too, espcecially when you get over 40 and I am assured by others from there changing gets harder and harder.  The stress of these economic times can drive us all into a nervous tizz. we have to be willing to adapt and do what we have to do to make it in this world.  hopefully we can all stay strong and weather these uncertain times with the determination that we are going to get healthier so that is one last thing we have to worry about in the future.
