Hi!
Well, goodbye October!
October has been filled with beautiful skies, and warmer-than-normal weather, ending with a fun Halloween that included singing for some very sweet elderly people, then rushing home to scare some kids and their parents just enough to make them squeal a bit, and maybe pee a little... aaaand give away a bunch of candy.
November is going to be a banner month... I can feel it in my bones. Big changes are in the air... good ones, maybe even great ones.
The Holiday season is starting to enter conversations, sometimes because it feels like we are forced to because of retail ads and decorations. Back-to-school, Halloween, and the Holidays seem to happen within the span of a week.
Time flies fast enough, give us a minute to savour it, would ya?
Give yourself permission to take a breath. You're allowed to live life at your own pace... at least for the most part.
As the days shorten, and the nights gain power, optimism is a virtue that becomes a bit tenuous for many. Because of this, it becomes even more important to celebrate every joy. Soaking in every light possible. keeping connected to family and friends, creating things to look forward to... these all help keep the dark outside where it belongs.
I don't imagine there is any scientific proof of this, but I have a theory. I think those of us who struggle with the dwindling of daylight are the same ones who like to decorate for the Holidays early. It's a coping tool, whether it's a conscious one or not is another thing.
Anyway...
There are two months left in this year, 2024.
Let's make them count, shall we?
Let's make them memorable.
Let's make them joyous.
Let's make them shine.
