It has been a while! What started as a brief break to focus on settling into the house and all the other adulting stuff, turned into a much longer hiatus. Within that time, I also took a break from social media. Essentially, I broke off contact with everyone but family and friends.
Summer draws to a close and I don’t mind. We’re upon my favorite season! Fall has always been so magical to me, and I can’t wait to dive into all things autumnal. However, I want to still honor this summer of change and growth. While my writing and art have been mostly stagnant, I did manage to write a few poems. Also, I grabbed a lovely shot of clouds the other day which is the featured image of this post.
It has been quite a month! My family and I have finally found a home. This month has been devoted to moving in and getting settled. While we are mostly settled and I can start to breathe, we still have many boxes of things to find places for. We’re getting there, but we’re also taking our time. This is the first place we haven’t rented and feel like we can slow down.
I don’t have a poem or prose prepared for this week because I am focused on our upcoming move from Arizona to Michigan. The days have been spent sorting and packing and sorting and packing and — yeah. Moving to a new location is one of those things that I love and hate at the same time. On the one hand, it is exciting to leave a place I’ve never really connected with and go back to a place I love. On the other hand, it is so much work! Not to mention, leaving some family members and friends is also very hard.
