A cool sunny October 9th. I’ve worked my way through the first week of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. And it was hard work, tapping wobbly through each day, searching and finding the words and thoughts. Now a week in, I’m a little more engaged and interested. I’m looking back at my purpose, my goals. I see that it is to cast off my malaise, my dis-interest. I want to see the world in technicolour again. I am weary of the dishwater grey.
I’ve succeeded somewhat. Yesterday was a lovely day. As I stepped into my front yard in the warmth of the afternoon, I felt alive for the first time in a long while. I breathed in and out, taking in the beautiful mess of autumn leaves on the ground, the bare branches reaching up to the blue of the sky. I felt part of the whole universe. I am the breath that is going in and out.
A small step towards the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A week in and 3 more weeks to go. It’s a journey and any journey is a work of art. I have to put my heart into it and paint it with vibrant colours.

Not sure where you are, but in Kansas, we are just starting to see the color in the trees. It will be my first colorful fall in 25 years and I’m so looking forward to it! Also — I can understand the funk. Surround yourself with colorful things in your favorite spaces, go buy a favorite coffee or tea, and just take in the lovely day. š
Thank you, Angie. Iām in Saskatoon, Sask. which is in western Canada.
I love the fall! There is something about this season that I find rejuvenating. Congrats on showing up daily for the blog challenge! I am finding myself more connected to it as well.
Thanks Jennifer.
