November has arrived signaling two months left in the year. There is just something about November that makes me more appreciative of life. While my industry sees a flurry of activity, for the most part the entire population seems to slow down. Family gatherings are more frequent as we encroach upon the holidays. Family to me though isn’t defined by relatives. Family is those you keep around you. I heard a quote once that “relatives you are stuck with, but you choose your family” and I couldn’t agree more. So while I know that I won’t have the financial freedoms of years past, I am going to be more appreciative of the intangible things like time spent with my kids and friends. I’m going to cherish the sounds of music (not Christmas music, I can’t stand that stuff), bask in the warmth of the Arizona winter, strengthen my connections with the outside world. As we approach winter, which is usually associated with dormancy, I plan on being more active, if not physically, emotionally and spiritually, socially even. I want to sow the seeds so that I have more in the spring to watch blossom, to carry me through the coming year until I can do it all again. I plan on actively shedding the old so that I can grasp the new with vigor in the new year. All that being said I would like to thank everyone for the feedback so far and look forward to growing and learning more from you as I continue my year journey of self-exporation. While I haven’t been as consistent as I had hoped to be, I have come to learn life is inconsistent, but not in a bad way and for that I’m thankful.
