My Time to Rest

Colorado Springs, 2009

I've been stuck in a rut. 

I haven't had any words to share and I'm not really sure why.

The past couple of weeks have been a time of rest for husband and I.  We've been going to sleep between 8-10pm and loving it.  I'm not sure if it's because of the time change and the fact that it gets darker earlier or that our bodies are just crashing.  We also haven't been going out or planning too many things.  We've just been hanging out together at home and getting lots and lots of sleep. 

It's been amazing.

It's also sort of ironic considering this is such a busy time of year with getting ready for the holidays and everything.  I don't know why or even how we've managed to make this a time of rest, but it's been needed. 

Maybe it's just that calm before the storm everyone talks about.  All I know is that it has caused me to struggle for words lately and that's why you haven't gotten much out of me this week. 

Maybe next week will be different, but for now, I'm going to enjoy this time of quiet, this time of peace, and this time of rest.

I hope you don't mind.
