Autumn mornings

I think that this is my favorite time of the year.

The humid days of summer have ceded to the clear skies and crisp mornings of the fall. There is still the promise of some fine weather to come, but there is a freshness and purpose to the world as it starts to prepare for the rigours of the winter. The leaves haven't yet started to fall, but there is a feeling of drawing in and hunkering down.

The start of September always makes me think of the start of a new school year. That sense of nervous anticipation, of new beginnings and fresh opportunities. At work, I have two important projects just about to get under way - the timesheets and the new invoicing module - but after my walk this morning, rather than the sense of wanting to procrastinate and avoid them, I am feeling excited and ready to get stuck in.

Bring it on!
