It’s almost October & Fall is my favorite season!  🍁

However, October is a complicated month for me.  I’m totally excited about the weather!  I love the cooler temps, the changing of the season and the color of the leaves.  I love Fall clothes, Fall flavored coffees & beers, and anything Pumpkin Spice…and while there are a lot of good things about October….it’s also a very difficult month for me. My mother passed away In October. One month after her 74th birthday.  She loved the Fall season as well.  (She actually loved ALL the holidays!)  She went ALL OUT decorating for ALL of the holidays.  She worked at a Florist shop and enjoyed dressing for the holidays.  Our house was always decorated and she had every holiday sweatshirt to match!  She loved sitting on the front porch and watching the birds. You have no idea how much I am like my mother, Bonnie.

So, with that being said….I am going to embrace the month of October and everything Fall as my mother would have done.  I’ll be doing a lot of front porch sitting, front porch drinking, and bird watching!   

I have a lot to be thankful for…..even though the climate of the world right now gets me “down”.  We must overcome all of the negative things impacting our minds.  Lets rise above and get back to normal!  No one is responsible for your happiness so you’re not responsible for keeping everyone else healthy!  I think someone once said, “Take care of yourself because no one else will!”  

My motto is: 

“Take care of yourself, mind your business, & love each other! Everything is going to be okay!”
