We are guest-free now and it feels good. The house has been cleaned, beds are made with the pretense of readiness, and we are clearing our minds to create space for each other as we redefine our routines again.
For all of us who live in the area year-round, there seems to be a collective sigh of completeness as the autumn season begins giving us all a little respite from the heat, mosquitos, and pattern of drink, eat, sleep, repeat. While it is nice to have visitors, it is equally nice to have the quiet.
M and I are focusing on our health and fitness. He wants a “sober October” and I want to finally lose the extra four or five (8 to 10 lbs) kgs that never seem quite able to stay off even when I do manage to lose a couple. So, I’ll be eating better, drinking even less and hitting the gym and yoga more. Menopausal mid-tummy is proving to be a real threat and I want to have a handle on it rather than on me!
I am going to lay quiet the rest of this week (aside from a dinner out tonight) as I recover from a little cold and breathe! So, until October – my reader friends!

Your plans seem wonderful to me. It’s so hard to take off weight after a certian age, so I will be waiting to hear of your sucess.
