Happy November!

Ahh, now the snow can come freely; it will be more seasonable now than if it comes in October.   It is a month where on the last Thursday, Americans celebrate their freedoms and their blessings.  Some gather with friends and family for a scrumptious feast.

For others, November marks the start of a flurry of holiday shopping, baking, and parties.  Or the approach of the end of the term or semester at school.

For Ms. Stanton this November, it marks the glorious time of our two households merging together, and we’re loving the changes already.  🙂

It also marks a very creative and exciting time in this writer’s life, as she is getting the Sunshine Factor ready to join another website.  It’s exciting because I will be offering my readers many new features in addition to the ones you’ve come to know and love.   What’s also exciting is the possibility of this new website being a clearinghouse for great ideas and letting our community contribute – male and female, children, teens and adults – contribute their drawings or poems or stories or recipes or ideas…  The deadline for the January issue is December 10, 2013.  More details coming soon!

Here’s to another awesome month…take good care.

Clubs and spades in a deck of playing cards.

Piano keys.

Thinking that is so stubborn and unrelenting, making absolutes of things that are really not so cut and dried.

This is what I am against, I who was formerly a black and white thinker.

I found there is a middle ground for most things, and I am learning more and more of this as time goes by.

I certainly still have opinions and I am not wishy-washy,

but now I know that my opinions, thoughts and ways

are not always the same as others’.  In fact, it’s a good thing we’re not all the same!

I’m trying to not be at one extreme or the other.

Since I don’t care for the color gray, perhaps this middle ground could be named

Red and Pink?  (bright versus light)

Comments, anyone?  All will be welcome in my latest wonderings.  🙂
