The first six weeks of school have been filled with busy and hurry.  I found myself moving so fast without really thinking. I knew I needed to carve a bit of time out for myself, so my husband and I took a long weekend to head to the mountains.  Every October we head north to New Hampshire to take in the splendor of autumn leaves turning into their full golden glory.   I cherish this time away and feel myself relax immediately as the mountains rise on either side of the road, enveloping me in their sloping arms.
