. . . any big event, can be overwhelming, be a joyous occasion, or be a day of grieving.
Today, the day after the Presidential Elections is no different. Folks seem equally divided between being thankful and wanting to leave the USA. This tension has been felt for many days and weeks. My sincerest hopes and prayers are for unity of the common good. The common good of every USA citizen, those who are here on work visa or school visa, those seeking asylum from their previous country. The United States of America was founded with and by immigrants, from many nations. The constitution was created out of a desire to safe guard our freedoms and to protect our citizens. I am thankful for USA "growing up" and realizing it's narrow view of "man" was lacking, that human beings is a far better way of looking at individuals (although "we" still need some work on that). I am thankful to live in a country where folks want to come to, to live and work.
Anyway, have been meaning to come back here, at least in the month of November, and blog things to be thankful of. Nine days in and just getting to it. Feels like the story of my life. A lot of "Around to Its" going on. Here's a random list of things, to include the last few days:
- blue skies
- some cooler days
- fall colors
- election being over
- fall/winter meal planning
- walks through the woods
- hot tea
- hot chocolate
- fresh, homemade whipped cream
- blankets
- crazy, silly dog
- sunshine

Do you decorate for fall? Is September 1 the day you start bring all things Fall out? Or do you wait until September 20?
I haven't fully started decorating for fall. Made a trip to the Dollar Tree the other day, as their artificial flowers and such are fairly descent sized and inexpensive. Swapped out my light blue and lavender hydrangea for a fall orange color. That is as far as I've gotten. More on another day.
