Here we are at November 1. Happy All Saints Day. We are officially 11 months into 2023. I look back at this year and see how far I have come. There were also setbacks and disappointments. But it’s ok. Not everything was right for me.

So why am I examining the year when it is not over yet? Because I am grateful for all I have acquired and what I have learned. I need to do this every single day. We shouldn’t wait until December 31st to reflect upon our year. And before the rush of the holiday season begins I am taking this opportunity to appreciate what I have, realize what I could do different, and where I am going to go from here.
