I Think That I'm Falling for Fall

Fall days can be so eerie sometimes. So quiet, bare trees and no one really outside. It always seems like I look in my rearview mirror to make sure no one is following me, the random leaf that falls from the sky looking for a landing is spooky. And all the leaves on the ground rustling is sometimes the only noise you hear. It can freak you out if you don't keep a grip on reality. Fall days are also my favorite, despite these things.....a fire in the fireplace, candles burning and chicken soup on the stove, makes you feel cozy.

I am trying to think of a point to this blog, but I don't really have one, except sometimes fall can make you feel kinda eerie, yet reflective at the same time, I seem to quiet down and look around at all the beauty, maybe that's why God made autumn- so you would be quiet and look at the beauty of the earth and all that is on it, then, if you notice when the snow starts to fall, it seems even quieter....there may be a point in that after all. Spring and summer everything comes to life, we go to the beach and theme parks, and have BBQ's, and everyone is outside, there is always a bustle and noise, but in the fall and winter, people slow down and take a breath. Hmmm.......that's a cool thought.

Random Thoughts

Since this is a blog called random thoughts, I guess I will take advantage of that and post some random thoughts. Not sure if anyone is reading this anymore, so I will write what I want.

Let's begin:

I am not going to vote for John McCain because I am a Christian and therefore must be Republican. I am registered Independent and hence......I think for myself, not based on what a Christian "should" do. I hate how politics are in the church and prayed about on Sunday mornings.....and how we should "pray the vote". I think that is corny. My college professor always taught me to not be affiliated to strictly one party because they both have bad sides, so stick to voting for the one you most agree with. Which I will do- which doesn't mean it will be Obama either...there are other candidates! Not as to say it won't be....I'll leave you guessing....if anyone reads this!

Next- is it a sin not to enjoy being a stay-at-home mom? Cause as much as I love my kids....I don't love staying at home all day and killing valuable brain cells watching cartoons. Wasn't there more to life than that? I think I could do more......don't get me wrong, I think it is invaluable for the children to have a parent at home, but, I also think it is ok if I go to work part-time. I really think it will be great for my kids to get out of this house and do something, which is not possible with the fact that we only have one car, and my husband needs it for work.

Finally- I really like the leaves on the ground.....why do we as people feel the need to rake the all up? Listen, if anyone would rake it would be me, I like things neat and clean- but they are so pretty covering the earth the way they should be. Now, if you drive by my house, and see all the leaves gone- remember my earlier statement about being a neat freak and know that I caved.

Well.....with all my venting done....it is safe to say I will close out this random thought blog. Until next time......if you have some random thoughts about my random thoughts....feel free....
