Have you ever thought of fall as the season of new beginnings? It’s always been that way for me, because the new school year used to start in September. But unlike Ben, I’m starting a new project — “putting our affairs in order.” I used to hate paperwork which is why I’ve avoided it in the past, but suddenly it’s time and I’m breaking it down into small steps and am chuffed when I take one. Who would have guessed I could learn to enjoy it?
