I went on a walk around the block at lunchtime today and took these photos. The last few days have been typical late October – rainy, gloomy, chilly at times. Dark too early. My morning walk takes place in darkness now. Sigh. There’s so much beauty, though, and I’m soaking in as much as I can before the trees lose all those gorgeous leaves.
I haven’t been here for several days because I fell into a common trap for me – overworking. Ten hour days do not make for a healthy work-life balance, and I am attempting to gain that balance back again. Today I forced myself to spend only eight hours at my work computer. I actually took a lunch break. I felt more like a real person and less like a number crunching zombie. Over the next few days I hope to take more photos, write more here, and take better care of myself.
Love,
Michelle xoxo
Beautiful autumn colors! Thanks for sharing your walk. Do you think the over-work trap has anything to do with the seasons? Now that there are fewer daylight hours and you might start/end work in the dark, is it somehow easier to overwork without noticing right away? Just wondering if autumn throws off your inner timer for work. 🙂
Hi Vicki! Yes, I think that the growing darkness is definitely throwing me off. I always feel very affected by the lessening hours of light. Working from home also doesn’t help!
