i shared this past thanksgiving with the faces that have been familiar to me for the past 20 years; for my 2 sisters-in-law, the past 3 years.
but this year was even more special because of 2 new additions: my adorable 8-month old nephew, and my boyfriend who has (hands down) become my best friend.
happy thanksgiving! for sure.

"30 days has september
april, june, and november," which brings me here. in the middle of the month, the 15th. (only my blog has not been told about the whole daylight savings nonsense and is insisting that it is still the 14th...)
second year in a row that i am participating in No-Shave November. (just the legs though... ;)
it's incredible how fast hair grows in 2 weeks. to think, i'm only half way through the month!
but boy... december 1st comes around and it is all worth it. seriously, after a whole month, it's the best shave of your life.

in a way, it seems unfair that your past has a say in the way you approach your future.
unfair, yet it does make sense.
for example, if you have been hurt in the past - in love, or churches, family or friends - the natural reaction for us as humans is to become more guarded, cautious, and even (in some cases) doubtful. because we have been hurt in the past, a little voice inside a whispers not to trust as you once did. if it happened once, it could happen again, right?
wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a perfect world where we have never been wronged or hurt?
maybe, but it's not gonna happen.
even if it were possible, the phrase "i trust you" would hold little meaning. the people that have never been hurt have not known what broken trust feels like, therefore "i trust you" would roll off the tongue easily, simply because they have no voice inside urging them not to trust.
it's those with trust already damaged that take a risk if they trust again.
think about it: how much more meaning is in "i trust you", when they overlook their past hurts and choose to try again?

it was my intention to post once a week, every monday.
however, monday came and went with not as much as a word... i blame this on halloween. i was so excited to be Robin (the sidekick to my Batman), that unfortunately... my blog got neglected. hence, this feeble attempt at a blog post.
but i would say that my first adventure trick or treating was a success... seeing as we came away with roughly 3 pillowcases full of candy.
(your welcome, Dentist)
