It is so good to feel better and better with each passing day. I can feel my strength slowly coming back.

It has been an emotional 5 months to say the least. Who would have thought at 49 years old that I would have been subject to three surgeries in such a short time all on the same hip. Craziness.

I feel up and down with my mood. I find the walls closing in on me at times. I think I am noticing this more now as I start to feel more like myself. I am ready to bust a move to the great outdoors.

I still have one hip replacement to go through. I am ready, but not ready to have it done…if that makes sense.

I am so ready for Fall and cooler weather. Watching the trees’ leaves out here by the lake is one of my favorite things to do. I have noticed a few leaves have started to change color out here. Not that I am inviting Winter in, but I am ready for that cool, crisp autumn air.

Who is ready to join me?

It is easy to start feeling that excitement when there are pumpkins setting on square hay bales that have shown up outside the grocery store.

I am not a big pumpkin spice girl, but I like it in theory. The smell takes me to another place in time.

Praying you all have an amazing week!
