October
When the month of October roles in, it usually feels like the first reminder that fall is really here. Cool air, falling leaves, green, yellow, red and brown everywhere we look because of the changing weather. A period of seasonal transition.

Tis the season to be jolly…..
The holiday season can be a very depressing time for people. All the expectations of gift giving and family joy. Commercials streaming across our televisions of homes with perfectly manicured trees surrounded by families wearing holiday colored sweaters and big smiles as they give each other gifts.
