• my nightly ritual of making Sleepytime Extra with wildflower honey 
• breaking out the down comforter to stay cozy as the cold weather moves in
• planning our Thanksgiving meal & reflecting on how different this year will be...
• having my first dreams of my dad since he passed away...happy he was his healthy, busy self in them; the hubs told me it was just dad checking in on me :)
