five things, november 4 edition

1. I think I have been very tardy in saying thank you to all the wonderful new blogging friends I've made who have taken the time to stop by still+life and say hello. The Blogging Your Way E-Course is coming to an end soon, and it's been such a wealth of inspiring (overwhelming!) information...my head and heart are both full. The total side bonus has been all the amazing blogs I've been introduced to along the way. Who knew?! I'm filled with gratitude to be part of this community.
2. I think it's been a crazy hectic week, but we survived it. Bonus for Callum: Alfie surprised him by coming up a day early.
3. I think I'm really looking forward to seeing Callum in his school play tonight and on the ballfield (56 degrees for the high and windy...yikes!) tomorrow. Two sides of the same coin.
4. I think I have a lot of changes to make in two short months.
5. I think, as we enter the month of gratitude, that I have a lot to be grateful for. Like Kate! Spade! Wedges!

Lauren,A month of gratitude? Sounds wonderful. I'm in!

Also I agree with you so much about our class. Let's stay together. It's so nice to have "met" you through our blogs.

Have fun at the play, and let us know how it goes!Noreen

Well, we met today...so it's nice to know you! I took the blogging e-course last winter and really liked it too! Hope you have a great weekend;)

I am so sad the class is coming to an end! I feel like I haven't mingled as much these last two weeks. I've been so busy. Maybe this weekend I can oversaturate myself!

Only two more months to go? I didn't think that you were that far along. Just so you know, yellow walls work for either a boy or a girl.Your Friend, m.

I feel the same way about the BYW class. So great! November is a good month to recognize our blessings and be grateful for the big and small pleasures and joys in our lives--to get us in the mood to be gracious and loving through the end-of-year holidays and stress! xo

Gosh, had a crazy weekend and am now just getting the chance to spend some time on the computer...And look at all that I've missed! (I haven't even had a chance to read Holly's final Monday lesson yet!) So glad I found myself here first to share in all this love. BYW has been a blessing; A month of gratitude is definitely in order. Thanks for the reminder, Lauren.
