Right now, this week as we settle into September, I’m loving . . .

    • being alone in the house with quiet to work
    • packing away the sprawl of summer, sending bathing suits and towels and flip flops up to the attic
    • running again filled with the energy of fall
    • kale—it’s been waiting for me all summer, and now that fall is here, I have it almost every night, sauteed with a little olive oil and garlic.kale
    • letting go of the weeds, knowing I’ll clear the slate for a fresh start next spring
    • the enthusiasm bubbling out of my kids when I pick them up from school or get them off the bus
    • the notes I find all over as my big girl pieces letters together, hoping to make a wordlearning to write
      • re-engaging with a writing project I was stuck on (I ‘m still not sure where I need to go next, but I’m writing again, trying to write my way out of my sticking point)
      • these notebooks and prints, especially these four pleasures—write, read, walk, digwrite notebook, Pleasure series from http://www.goodnaturepublishing.com/pleasures.htm
      • re-engaging with a writing project I was stuck on (I ‘m still not sure where I need to go next, but I’m writing again, trying to write my way out of my sticking point)
      • making these love lists and getting ready for Write What You Love tomorrow (you can still join us).

What are you loving this Monday morning?
