I can hardly believe tomorrow is December 1st. Bring on all the peppermint and holly and mistletoe.
But, first, November Twenty Fourteen.
I stayed put in Chico the majority of the month, indulging in the Saturday farmer’s markets (rain or shine), cold runs in the park, a pizza wine night/sleepover with my girlfriends, and Christmas Preview in quaint downtown. P visited. Holiday cards were crossed off the list… oh, and I completed my IIN Health Coach certificate – say what!?
The blog turned FIVE years old!
I signed up for a marathon… relay

I finished off the month in Sonoma County indulging in quality family time for an extended Thanksgiving weekend. I didn’t take a single photo with my camera(!!). I ate Mom’s apple pie for breakfast and toasted to togetherness with cranberry margaritas. I soaked in the slobbery baby kisses, refreshing rain, cheering at a 6th grade basketball game, cozy coffee date with a past roommate, and the gratitude that smothered it all.
I am leaving November with immense thankfulness for all I have.
