Month in Review – October 2022

Can you believe there are only two months left in the year? It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating the beginning of the year. The last couple of months have been a bit of a rollercoaster but I feel like that is coming to an end now. I am beginning to get my feet back underneath me. 

I did learn that I shouldn’t simply trust everyone. A lesson I learned the hard way and has cost me a little bit. Okay, more than a little bit but it’s fine. I thought I was getting better about judging people and then I had a setback. I honestly have always been the one that gave everyone a second, third, four hundredth chance without a second thought. I always saw the good in everyone even as they were stabbing me in the back. It is a hard habit to break and I have paid for it over the years. One thing is for certain I will bounce back. I always do.

Happy Halloween!

Let me take the time to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! I would love to know how everyone is celebrating the day. We aren’t really doing much and my neighborhood doesn’t do anything either. I used to love to pass out candy to the kids as they rang the bell but over the years that dwindled down to nothing. Now all the kids go to the businesses in town.

I guess it is just the age we live in. I remember when the streets in various neighborhoods were full of kids wandering from house to house collecting their candy. We would be out for hours and there were always parents taking a group of kids from house to house. My dad went with us some years and others it was just my mom. Although there were both of them. One year they even dressed up.

What I Have Been Up To

Normally this is where I would put the shows I have been watching but I thought I would change it all up a bit. I have been watching Shetland Season 7 and really want to know who the killer is but at the same time I don’t want it to end. This is the last season that this is the last season we will see Douglas Henshall play Jimmy Perez. I don’t know if the next season will have someone else in the role or a new character altogether.

I have also been taking the time this month to reflect on the things that I want to do differently. Both in my personal life and my work life. There are some things that I want to adjust a bit with work. I am almost ready to semi-retire, I think. I am weighing the pros and cons of it all. I will say that is something that won’t be happening anytime soon. I guess I shouldn’t say semi-retire so much as ready to evolve into the next phase of my life. I am getting older and I have found that life changes so much as we get closer to being senior citizens ourselves.

That’s how my month has been going so far. There have been some highs and lows but it has been pretty good for the most part. I found that I enjoyed  myself more and more as the month came to an end.
