Pumpkins and priorities

Happily in fourth place

---

Pumpkins grow for about 100 days in a field somewhere. We travel by tractor and wagon to pick them. Knox points and we take them home. They sit outside our house until they rot.

Change is the only thing that stays the same.

I remember waking up one workday morning and just wishing somehow that the day could be over. If I could have one wish it would be that somehow the next eight hours of my life would just disappear. And I thought how sad that was—to just want your life to go away. I didn't wanna live like that. I wanted to wake up each day and feel glad I was alive. And for the first time that didn't seem like too much to ask for.
