Before the holiday rush begins, November gives us something we may need more than we realize - a reason to slow down and enjoy the little things.
Halloween decorations come down, the clocks change, and suddenly Christmas seems to be everywhere. Somewhere in between, November can get a little lost. But maybe November deserves more credit.
Thanksgiving naturally makes us think about the big things we're grateful for. But sometimes it's the little things that make an ordinary day special - a good cup of coffee, a conversation with a neighbor, hearing from an old friend, laughing over dinner, or simply having nowhere you need to rush off to.
