* In my head, I am living in a quaint little New England town where Autumn and Halloween are celebrated every day. Where I can go to the farmers markets, pumpkin patches, bookstores or antique stores, take long walks in the woods while the leaves are turning to yellow, gold, and red and rewatch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” as many times as I want.

* It’s hot cocoa over pumpkin spice and hot apple cider for me.

* I heard that October is National Pizza Month in the United States. I wonder if you could eat a different pizza every day of the month? Who is up for the challenge?

* This October start thinking like your are blessed, talking like you are blessed, and acting like you are blessed. That is how your blessings begin to grow!

* And remember, now that it is October, spiders and cobwebs in the house are Halloween decorations!

* Go make some magic this month! Make someone laugh! Make a memory! Make someone’s day! The world needs what only you can make!

It’s Sweater Weather! * I love every season, but Fall is my favorite! Sure, I will miss my summer flowers, long summer evenings, and the pool. But I am soooo ready for chili simmering on the stove, soft blankets on the couch, my favorite hoodies, something warm to drink (especially hot cocoa), the windows open, and that cool autumn air!
