It’s over.
November is over and today is the first day of a new month, the last month of the year.
For some reason, November was a tough month for me. I didn’t like the cold snap which took away the colors. And then the time change took away the light. It bothered me and I took it personally.
I did, however, keep busy with a multitude of activities and am proud to say I did most everything on my November list.
The big one on my list was painting my bathroom. I still need to paint the baseboard and door. I’ll put that off as long as I can.
Reading books was easy and I had some good ones that I really enjoyed. I adored reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. Something more recent called The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling). I loved it and look forward to additional books by her.

And now it’s a new month – the last month of 2014. There’s something so sad about saying goodbye to this year. I wish I could understand the melancholy way I’m feeling. I guess I’m not ready for a new year on my doorstep or on my calendar. Funny how the Universe doesn’t care about what I want, huh?!

Love this…you must be a “kindred” list maker. You accomplished more than I did though. I can’t believe 2014 is almost gone. I’ve never had a year move by so quickly.

It took me a long time to accept it was 2014 and now it’s changing. Crazy stuff, huh?! For me, one of the best ways to keep it fresh is to blog about it.
Hope 2015 comes at a slower pace for both of us!
