Today I'm thankful for sweet children in costumes for Halloween. This year was the first year I was able to celebrate with Finn and it was fun as a parent to experience. Although he had no awareness of the event, it was fun to do together.
Time for Reflection: Me Too
Me too. I don't identify sexual harassment and assault as only being experienced by women. I don't identify the assailant with always being a man.

Today I'm grateful for silly squirrels. We feed them critter crunch in our backyard and I love mornings when I can watch them play and scavenge.

Today I'm grateful for Toastmasters. This morning I had a bad morning. I was late leaving the house due to several unusual happenings. Traffic was a nightmare.
