Life Lately

Oh goodness, you guys. What a week. This election season has been one of the most stressful times I can remember. As a collective nation, there is so much on the line.

I do not want to get into politics on my blog but please remember that half of the people that you encounter in day to day life are very upset and sad and the other half are very happy. But, you can choose to be KIND no matter what. So, please be kind and extend grace towards others.

It was a rainy week here, which was amazing because we need the moisture on the ground going into winter! It was actually very peaceful and relaxing to watch the rain cascade over all of the leaves on the ground.

I managed to, in between rain showers, put up the Christmas lights and hung the outside garland on the patio! I like to get that done before it gets too cold.

Tilly got a new coat for her birthday and completely loves it! Isn’t it so cute?! She never used to like walking in the rain before but, now that this coat is waterproof, she doesn’t mind!

And, finally, if you are sensitive to other people’s energy and stressful events like I am, I encourage you to get outside in nature. Breathing in the fresh air and listening to the sounds of birds really does wonders for your mind, body, and soul.
