October!

I am so excited for October. It is my favorite time of year. I have actually set a goal this month to do something to celebrate Halloween every day. Today my husband and I ran to Homegoods in search of a new mixing bowl and found that they have already started to make room for the holidays and are discounting Halloween! It reminded me of just how important it is to slow down and appreciate the season you are in. This month is all about ghosts, witches, and the anticipation of a good scare or a candy treat. It is about apple picking, baking bread, and watching the leaves put on a magical display of color. It is about hot tea and cozy books.

I do not want to rush through one minute of it in my quest to live every day with an appreciation for the fact that every day is unique temporary.

So today, take a deep breath. Think of all of the good things the year has brought you so far, and all that you have to look forward to this month. Then eat a piece of chocolate for me!
