November is a month filled with warmth and reflection. As the leaves fall and the days grow shorter, it’s a time to embrace gratitude. Adjusting to daylight saving time has proven to be a challenge for us, but we are starting to get back on track. I love this quote that someone shared with me recently:

“November is the month to remind us to be thankful for the many positive things happening in our life.”

This sentiment holds a special place in our hearts, especially for those who call November their birthday month. Hello, that’s me! I just turned 51, and I am fully embracing my new age of 51.

In November, we have the chance to pause and appreciate all the positive aspects of our lives. Isn’t that why we all love the Thanksgiving holiday? November is a month that encourages us to count our blessings, both big and small. It’s a time for self-reflection and a time to express thanks for the journey we’ve traveled.

For those who celebrate their birthdays in November, it’s an extra reason to be grateful. It’s a time to cherish the gift of life and the people who make our lives special. Birthdays remind us of the love and connections we’ve formed along the way. I love birthdays for that! As I often say, my favorite age is now.

So, as November unfolds, let’s not forget to be thankful for the many positive things happening in our lives. Not just on the actual Thanksgiving day, but for the entire month. Focusing on gratitude is important, especially when the world feels heavy.

Whether it’s the changing colors of the leaves, the embrace of family and friends, or the joy of another year lived, there’s always something to be grateful for. 

Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating, I am grateful you are here!

Thank you for reading this,
