{November desktop via Marimekko}
The squares of our September and October calendars have been squeezed tightly
with activity.
I know after this weekend, the pace will continue with speed.
This weekend calls for a bit of fall self-care.
What does that look like for me?
Warm fuzzy socks, sipping hot beverages, reading a book ( I am thinking about
watching football or a movie or both.
Less cooking by using a gift card gathering dust equals a date night.
It means doing something creative.
Perhaps taking a walk between the showers forecasted.
It involves digging a bit deeper and longer in my devotional time.
It means rejoicing in setting my clock back AND refusing to squander those bonus
60 minutes by staying up too late.
I need to not just act the part but be a grown-up.
It does not include the words “should” and “have to”.
It’s all about refreshing my soul.
I intend to drink hot apple cider.
I made a big pot on Halloween to drink as we went door to door.
However, the evening was so warm that no one was in the mood.
I made The Pioneer Woman’s recipe for the first time.
If you need a new cider concoction, click here, you won’t be disappointed.
It’s November 1st and the stores are already lined with all things Christmas,
take a little time during this first week of November to take care of yourself.
I know you will be glad you hit the pause button.
Here’s another desktop to choose:

Happy November!
Wow, Helen I am so glad I read your blog a little late but I am sure God led me to it. My goal is to try to organize time that I normally let slip by. The “should and have to”…I end up a lot of times doing nothing.I don’t do things that soothe my soul for thinking I need to get things done. Thank you for your thoughts in writing. Have a great November.
