The beginning of school for both my children has arrived. This week everyone is back at it and transitioning really pretty well. It is an adjustment for everyone - waking early, long days, packing lunches, drop-offs, pick-ups, after school activities, and earlier bed times. I realize this is the same for many this time of year but it still feels challenging, it still feels new.
I don't feel like it is all perfectly situated yet. The whole school routine. My mind has not quite wrapped itself around it all yet. When the craze overwhelms I remember to pause, breath deeply, and be here now.
I do have some other things rattling along in my brain, in particular, an event at our local library that I have been planning since last February and finally will come to life this September 9th. It has been an exciting and creative force in my life for many months. But the beginning of school and the grand finale of this event does add to the hectic feeling of September.
I know it is pulling me away. And when I forget to pay my daughter's Montessori school bill, I quietly remind myself that it will pass and it is all worth it.
