I think it might be a little unusual, but November is my favorite month of the year. Almost 30 years ago, I was born in November – and on Thanksgiving! So I feel like November and I are connected. It’s a month for planning and preparing, which is something I just love. It’s for lists and projects and day dreaming about presents to make and give at Christmas. It’s for relishing in the preparations, before the stress of the holiday season really sets in.
Of course, in America, it’s also a month to be thankful, which I’m not sure exemplifies me but it certainly makes me very happy! And while I won’t be in America for Thanksgiving, I’m certainly going to try to re-enact it in Dublin as best I can. It’s a good, important, soul-warming holiday that just rounds out this cosy month.
Driving into Maine last week, I was grinning out the window at the bare trees with grey branches, sharply contrasted against the muted blue sky. I couldn’t help but think, it’s my month!
Now here’s today’s big question: what’s your month? And while we’re at it, you may as well dish on your spirit animal because I’m pretty sure mine’s a turkey!
