Puttin On The Ritz

Sometimes there is nothing like escaping Cary for a little bit and… puttin on the Ritz… or packing your Lillie Pulitzer and yoga pants so you can spa on Amelia Island with friends.

Isn’t North Carolina GORGEOUS?
And then there’s Florida!

November.

November has never really been my kinda month. Even tho it is the month of thankfulness, somehow, I habitually slip into blandness. BLAH!

There’s that awful time change in November. My walks get chillier in November. The sun goes to bed earlier in November. And. The season gets too “peopley” and stressful in November.

So. I escaped the November feeling and took a flight to Amelia Island. I am so so thankful for Florida. It never feels like November there!

Flying out, this gorgeous view of North Carolina reminded me…as much as I am always escaping it, I do love my home.

This particular weekend I was away, my school distract conveniently gave staff the Friday off to reflect … and boy, did I reflect. In all of Florida’s non November-ness, I reflected on all I have to be thankful for.

I have grown so much closer to friends and family this year and we have been amazingly tight knit! I have never loved what I am doing for a job more than I do today! I am healthy… all those therapy IVs, acupuncture, yoga sessions, vitamin elixers… are working! I may not be living in that so called warm tropical country ALL year long, but I am able to escape there and to other warm locations to rejuvenate… and to refresh my gratefulness.

Thankful people are happy people. This I know is true.
