It is hard to believe it is October 20. Seems like time is flying by in all aspects.

October has been good. We traveled down to the Carolina's for my dear friend (from Orlando and DC!), Jamie's wedding. It was a weekend of festivities and I came away refreshed from being out the city, surrounded by friends that are more like family (we have known each other for longer than we haven't known each other now), and being around strong Christian faith and hearing TRUTH. It's always a blessing and miracle to witness others take vows of marriage. Encouraging and affirming. Such a wonderful time for many reasons.

We were able to get away another Saturday for a long day in the beautiful Shenandoah National Park. It's a few hours away from DC and it's amazing. A lot of hikes and scenery and nice to get fresh air and ranging vistas. Much quieter than city life and amazing that it is in easy driving distance from DC. It was a wonderful day and we are planning to go back soon now that the leaves are getting close to peak color.

Besides the weather being WAY too cold for October, Fall is going well so far and we are looking forward to being in town for a few weekends in a row without travel. Hope to slow down, read some books, cuddle up in my new LL Bean slippers and "be". With Jonathan continuing to travel each week for work, our quiet weekends at home are treasured, especially for him, so we are trying to protect and treasure them.

There is not much to report and I am content at the quietness. In life. My heart. No drama and that is okay. Glad I can say that. Maybe I used to like the drama and "excitement". Growing up, perhaps.

Anyone else on growing up and okay with quiet weekends and "stillness" in life?
