As the world begins to slow down and winter approaches, it’s time to think about slowing down your own life and embrace this next season of rest and quiet.
When was the last time you walked amongst the trees and squirrels? When was the last time you slept in? When was the last time you had the camper out or set up a tent for the kids in the back yard?
The burn ban has been lifted here in southern Ohio. Maybe it’s time to have a bonfire. Hot chocolate and smores for everyone!
Read a book, take time to play catch with your grandkids, watch rain drops stream down the window, kick up your feet for a beloved old movie or use the chocolate chip bag recipe to make some cookies.
Action packed doesn’t equal happy. Sometimes the happiest moments can be found in the slow, quiet ones.
October is typically my busiest month of the year. November is a delightfully quiet, slower and darker time to rest and revitalize the mind, body, and spirit. I am beginning to yearn for early bedtimes and cozy nights at home.
As much as I love all the running around I’m doing right now, I eagerly await what’s to come with the shorter days of November!
Love your feature photo!
Haha. I thought you might!
Very true. We’re hoping to take our little one to the cabin for the first time this weekend and go for a hike. Might as well enjoy the warm weather and fall colours while we can!
Exactly! The pretty part of fall never lasts long enough. Enjoy!!
Oh I know! Nature sure knows how to put on a beautiful show!
We just have to enjoy it while it lasts.
Absolutely!! We’ve had such a warm and dry fall, which has been great for getting outside.
It has been so unseasonably warm here that it has been almost unnerving.
Me too!! November and December are going to be much more chill than this month. Can’t wait.
I hope you get to enjoy every minute.
