- I've been reading a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W Loewen. It tells of common misconceptions and flat-out lies told in our American history books. I'm really having to examine what I thought to be true about people and events near and dear to Americans' hearts. I highly suggest this read.
- Four year olds have absolutely no concept of "falling back" when daylight savings time ends and we're supposed to get an extra hour of sleep.
- I have really good neighbors (and friends!). We had a very cool block party on Halloween complete with over a hundred trick or treaters, potluck dinner, a fire pit for keeping warm, and CANDY! It's an annual tradition that keeps growing in scope, and I think this year was the best one ever.
- If the messy-ness of my house dictates who gets to come inside, then only those in my inner sanctum will cross the threshold anytime soon. Ugh. I actually have to be home in order to clean. There's an idea.
- My deep thought for the month is this quote I found by CS Lewis - "You don't have a soul. You are a soul - you have a body." While I had this as "head knowledge" before, just having it presented to me in this way has really made me think about what I deem important and lasting.
OK, now there's text for the first week of November. Pressure's off.
