It's November

This is a month that haunts us.  Two years ago Murphy died.  Then last year, my mother.  A fog of sadness descends in November.  I remember calling my aunt after my mother died and she said: "why do they all have to go in November?"

Yet, this is the month of Thanksgiving.  We celebrate harvest, our family, friends, good things.

The leaves have changed.  The days are short.  It's cooler.  Snow is coming in the mountains....It's a tough month ahead.  But I am so very thankful for my family and friends, and of course, the two knuckle-heads in my life.  Annie makes me laugh and Sage's soulfulness grabs my heart.

Murphy's Day.
