November?

Whew! I can't believe it's already November! Things are certainly looking like fall here in Stillwater. I don't think I noticed all the pretty colors in past years. I truly enjoy seeing the beautiful leaves tumbling to the ground and hearing the crisp crunch underfoot as I walk to work. This is probably due to my parents taking me to see the leaves in Arkansas when I was only 6 months old. They didn't want me to miss out on any experience.

Watching the leaves change reminds me of the changing world. I try to do all of this social networking stuff, but I am not even very good at maintaining relationships with my friends who are here in the flesh and blood. Sure, we use some of the tools to stay connected like Facebook, but I fail to nurture and build that relationship in person.

Don't do that! Take time to have fun with your friends and family. Enjoy the moments spent with them. Sometimes the best memories come from the simplest times.

Thanks to my boyfriend for enjoying the simple times we spend in my hometown, or while riding in a car or doing the dishes.
