We found some fall color on a trip to the zoo. Good thing, as this weekend has been snow, sleet and hail. I am sitting in front of the space heater after becoming cold and wet getting groceries. (Pix by Brea Dargis - of the color, not me cold and miserable :)

 

We have started making our Thanksgiving cards. Later then usual and probably less than in past years. Simplifying!

On the home front, my husband put our garage back straight as our neighbor's tree has been pushing under it. And one day we couldn't open the garage. This was a long, slow process as you can only straighten it a little at a time.

If you don't have time to do all 7 tips, pick the one or two that are calling to you and put them in your calendar or to do list.

1. Get together with your most optimistic friend.
2. Catch up on thank you notes and correspondence.
3. Do you need to call a sibling or other relative?
4. Finish something.
5. Talk to someone else in line. Let's practice our social skills many of us lost in lockdown.
6. Cook double for one meal and freeze half.
7. Don't check your work email at least one evening.
