WELCOME THE NEWNESS

November is here. There is a chill in the air and every morning frost covers the earth and rooftops. We turn our thoughts to Christmas and preparing for the snow. The flocks of birds are flying south overhead in their unique formations. There is a difference in the air and when we take a deep breath, it is cold and refreshing. November starts the transition to winter. October was the ending of autumn and we felt it. It was almost like sadness but now there is an excitement for the coming Christmas season. November is filled with firsts – first snow, first time on skates/snowboards/skis; first temperatures below freezing, etc. Take the time to rejoice and welcome the newness.
