My dear readers,
Here comes autumn and the season of falling leaves and cooling temps, of costumes and candy. There are so many fun things about October - festivals, art shows and concerts. For you coffee lovers, October 1 is International Coffee Day. Grab your cup or mug and start your month-long binge! October 1 is also World Smile Day! I’m going to make it World Smile Month!! If you’re an October fan, enjoy the cooler temperatures with a nice hike, inspiring walk…and a good mystery book. After all, aren’t we thinking about ghosts, goblins and haunted houses this month? The summer's heat and humidity are just a memory, and now the leaves promise a world full of beautiful adventures. Inhale on the beauty of the changing colors of leaves and exhale on the appreciation of another month to celebrate life. May you continue to enjoy good health and smile on the sun.
