Dee's Deliberations #12

Morning is a shiver, afternoon is a steamer.

Autumn's mood swings always deliver.

If you live on the Atlantic Coast, then you know all about the ups and downs of fall temperatures. In the morning, you're layering up in a long sleeve sweater, thick coat, and ear warmers. By lunch time, you're shedding those layers and hauling out your T-shirt and baseball cap. I've even seen people wearing shorts, but that's just crazy, because by the evening hours, you're digging out a hoodie and fluffy socks.

We definitely go from a shiver to a steamer within a few hours, and then back to a shiver...which unfortunately lasts longer than the steamer. The true facts of autumn on the Atlantic Coast.

Monday Moments - The Power of Thankfulness

The Power of Thankfulness

On this Thanksgiving Monday, let’s take a moment to honor the full range of blessings in our lives. The big moments remind us how far we’ve come. The small moments remind us why it matters.

Gratitude isn’t reserved for grand achievements. It lives in small routines, familiar voices, unexpected kindnesses, moments we often rush past, and thrives when we pay attention.

It’s easy to overlook the everyday gifts. The laughter, the routines, and the people who show up for us. These are often the things that carry us through. When we choose not to take them for granted, life feels fuller, steadier, and more meaningful.

Take a small moment to notice, appreciate, and give thanks for everything that enriches your journey.
