It is just so devastating to hear about the horrific acts of violence in Paris, ending so many innocent, precious lives. Being New Yorker’s and living thru 9/11, we empathize strongly with how abruptly life can change. The world around us seems to have changed forever and one of the inspirations for starting this blog was to try to bring some peace to each of our little environments and let that love spread…to your friends, family, co-workers, your community and let them spread that love and goodwill to everyone they know, and on and on and on. Is it idealistic to think this world could be a better place starting with us and our words and actions? We hope not. We believe that by living a happy, peaceful, loving life it will make a difference in this world.
In that spirit, Thanksgiving is next week and always in the midst of sadness, which many people face regularly, we will try to have thankful hearts for what we have today. It is important to reflect on the good in our lives, necessary even for our love to continue on to all of the people we are surrounded by. Here are some things we are thankful for…
Our families and friends. Warm homes and food on our tables. Freedom to live our lives as fully as we can. Love. God watching over us all. We are thankful you are reading this.
Beliefs are different for everybody; believe in love. Live your life kindly.
The fall season is officially here and it took us a long time to finally get out of summer mode (although the weather here in NY has been pretty great) and delve into a new time of year! While we love the laid back schedule of summer, fall brings so many great things to look forward to. Personally, we celebrate a lot of birthdays, but we also have many other celebrations coming namely Halloween and Thanksgiving and soon after we look forward to Christmas! Not wanting to rush anything along, the anticipation of things to come is half the fun. We recently read a magazine article on happiness that said the planning, preparation and anticipation of an event gives just as much joy to people as the actual event (it was a study about vacation happiness but we think it also applies here!) There is so much to look forward to: pumpkin picking and apple pie a la mode, wearing that comfy sweater, family gatherings and cozy nights in on darker days with a movie or a good book. Fall brings beautiful colors in nature, cooler nights and lots of anticipation of what’s to come. Savor the season!
We are thankful for our family, our friends and you, our readers! We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
