Babies, sweet memories, beauty in nature, a loving touch...We get so busy with our everyday lives that we forget to appreciate the beauty around us...the leaves changing, spending time with those we love, just being still.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving (one of my favorite holidays!) I made a Little Book of Gratitude. ( Click here for an awesome video tutorial on how to make one of these for yourself!)

I always look forward to the "fall back" time change this time of year. I like to get up early, so having the sun shine when I wake up is a GREAT way to start the day. I also love the cooler weather, a warm fire and the harvest moon at night!
