I Feel Very Blessed

November was not slower but it was busy in a better way because I got to see people! It was so refreshing and yes, a little crazy, but hopefully we will be getting a better balance now. This really was an excellent month. Bring on the snow!!!

I coached my first Bible quiz competition! The kids did GREAT. I was so impressed and I'm looking forward to seeing where they end up at the end of the year. This quizzing is very different than what I did my senior year of high school so I'm learning a lot too.

This month was characterized by relationships. After being swamped and too busy to do things with people for September and October, I did a LOT with friends this month.

• finally took a walk with Jenna
• some friends from Bible study made prayer boxes together
• I baked cookies with two girls from my Bright Lights group
• video call with Nicole
• dinner with Faith
• lunch with Elizabeth
• girls night with Kenna
• attended my first-ever Friendsgiving!!
  
• singing with friends
  
• SNOW!!!
  
• decorating for Christmas
  

It was so life-giving! Being able to keep our usual Thanksgiving traditions for at least one more year was also lovely.

On the farm/the family business side of things, we cut down three trees and split a bunch of wood and we are starting up doing craft fairs and markets again. We are still building interest at every show! I need to work on doing more for that blog and email list.

Personal
I did get to see my friends and got Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews done but didn't finish my fall baking. So now I have to decide if I'm just going to do it or save the rest for next year.

Business
I did not get much of this done. I had a LOT of editing to do and since these things were not a super high priority, it just didn't happen. I have done a bit of research into newsletter options. But I did get some progress made on the newsletter, which feels very good!
