It's been a minute...

Well October came and went in the blink of an eye. I'm telling you time just seems to go by faster and faster as I get older. October was a busy month too. Allison's last high school homecoming, friends got married, the ZBB had their annual Southern Ground Music and Food Festival in Charleston, traveled to Greenville to see our good friends the Southern Boys Band open for Blackberry Smoke (very cool) and my most favorite holiday, Halloween!!  November started with a bang too. CMAs in Nashville, college tours at Alabama, Auburn and Vanderbilt with Allison and Thanksgiving preparations began last weekend. I suspect that things will not slow down until well after Christmas. December is already full of parties and family gatherings. 

As I reflect on the past year, I am reminded that I have so much in which to be thankful. Healthy and happy children, a fantastic husband, my parents are back in our hometown, I have a good job and a boss that is great, unbelievably awesome friends and, though my life is far from perfect, I am at peace.  I am truly happy and extremely thankful.  

I had never fully understood what it meant to "choose happiness" until I actually started doing just that...Happy Thanksgiving....
