I've recently decided that November is my favorite month. I just love that the days are getting shorter and colder and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays is growing. I love that the trees are bare and you can see through them to the inner forests, and that they make the most beautiful silhouettes against the sky. The knowledge that family gatherings are coming soon, and the warmth of family packed in houses is not far away is such a beautiful thought. In the past, I've also taken November to slow down and de-clutter my life so I can really breathe the refreshing and crisp air, and appreciate the little things. This year, I'm going to continue that tradition by celebration No Rush November. I'm going to slow down in the midst of this crazy-busy life and take time to notice the small blessings around me every day. I am going to de-clutter my life by getting rid of Facebook on my phone, and limit my time on Instagram. I'm looking forward to what God is going to teach me this month, and how I'll grow without the distractions of social media and time-suckers like web surfing. So here's to a month of slowing down and appreciating the world around me.
