Three Thoughts for November

We're almost nearing the end of the year. What are your feelings about that?

It's autumn here in the U.S. and the cooler temperature, cozy outfits, and changing colors of the leaves only emphasize the passage of time. I feel a slight panic (have I achieved my plans for the year?) and a bit of nostalgia because we'll never get this time back again. 

I'll make sure to go on an autumn drive, have my fill of warm apple cider and apple cider doughnuts, and some crafting inspired by the autumn leaves

November is also when we usher in the holidays. I have a few blog posts about entertaining coming up, whether you are the host or the guest.

We're also celebrating Thanksgiving at the end of the month, a time for family and food, and of course, giving thanks for all the we have.

Wishing you a very memorable November!
