83/100 November Is My Favorite Month

A Love of Life


And why not celebrate the small things? We love to live by the stated appreciation of “it’s the small things that matter,” but I ask how often do we pause for the celebration of the basic moments in life?

Life is always rich and full of song.

Here, I celebrate a basic love.

I love November.

That’s it. I think this is the best month of the year, and literally look forward to November 1 every year. I might start treating this like a holiday yor vacation, honestly. It brings me light and a warm contentment for life. It is also a kind of victory lap. Because I now live in a place that overtly experiences the fall, finding the fall arrive is a reminder that I’ve chosen this part of my life and am reminded to love it for that.

It brings to me a desire for slowness, for warmth. I cherish the colder air and the colors in the leaves. It is a bounty of life that makes me want to share. It brings me to desire giving.

It was in the fall that I had my solo travel experience in Europe for 100 days. It reminds me of that time.

Today is November 1st, and I use this space to invite stillness and peace.

More soon,

Trevor
