The Day before

I'm entering the workforce tomorrow. With a myriad of emotions following me wherever I go. Exctiment, fear, anticpation, anger. Positive and negative. It's all new and yet all too familiar. I haven't worked outside the home for almost two years now. Except for Sunday mornings, I never had to worry about things like what to wear or bad hair days. Petty? Perhaps. The end of the world as I know it? If my hair doesn't turn out or I get a run in my stocking it will.

Today is a beautiful, almost fall kind of day. A slight chill to the air that's still warm and inviting. A harbinger of what's to come. Cool, crisp and refreshing. Goodbye heat, humidity and mosquitoes. Hello clean air, golden color and fireplaces. The firewood is waiting. Ready to burn. Apple cider and pumpkins. And of course, I almost forgot (not really) my birthday. Followed closely by Anne's and Kristin's. Fall is a time to celebrate!

Even if I am stuck working.
