What makes you feel alive?

As much as I love it, sometimes all this living feels like it's just too much for me and I think it would be really amazing to just "please stop the world and let me off".

Since that is not possible, I suppose I did that by taking a leave of absence from a few pretty important things. Among them, I quit posting here. I also quit my running and yoga routine (not advised!).
It's been good to take a break but i'm ready to be back at it. 
All of it! Running makes me feel alive; writing reminds me of why I'm alive and brings new discoveries that would otherwise be undetected.
The photos above are just a few good things from the past few weeks... a bowl of tomatoes from my mother-in-law... mums and pumpkins at the produce auction as far as you can see... In the midst of the corn harvest here on the farm this week... a perfect Sunday afternoon with Basil the goat tilling up the garden while Patrick and I watch lazily from our chairs.. Flour and morning sun in the kitchen, making breakfast for Airbnb guests. 
I chose my autumn header again from last year instead of making a new one because it made me feel so warm and happy remembering good things that have happened and make me excited for things yet to come this season. So glad to be alive and continually experiencing life and all it's routine offerings in new ways.
