october!

In all my affairs
may I distinguish between
DUTY and ANXIETY,
and may my CHARACTER and not my CIRCUMSTANCES chiefly engage me...
--Valley of Vision: "Contrition"
October already! I love it when the first day of the month coincides with a Monday...it lends the illusion of order and "rightness" to my week.
It's been a good morning so far...I slept soundly enough to dream last night, and when I awoke I felt rested and very snug in my quilt, with the autumn (!) wind gusting through the open windows and rustling the open notebooks on my desk (newly crowned with a medium-sized rotund pumpkin). My morning jog felt marvelous--and I pushed myself harder than usual, which always helps encourage my timid little self-worth-ometer. Now I've just emerged from sipping coffee and smuggling hot cocoa packs in the Great Hall. I love me my hot beverages!
Today I have three classes: Anatomy, Shakespeare, and History. After work study, I plan on completing as much homework as possible in order to free up my Wednesday for shopping with Vowsh and Melody! Time to invest in some new sweaters!
Happy October, folks...

To Mom

Who would have thought, when years had passed,  and you had left this world for good, I'd find such comfort remembering the way it felt ...
