Ode to October

October began as expected, with J's birthday, and ended in an unexpected way, with the second national lockdown in France announced.  In between there were a lot of beautiful leaves and time spent enjoying some beautiful places near us with people in the safest ways we could.  I am so grateful we seized so many of the October days.  Some were sunshiny and glorious; some were drizzly and grey, but now we have sweet memories of connection to carry us into November.  And the month we spend in intentional gratitude couldn't come at a better time this year.
