Notes
Just some random thoughts, ideas and things I find inspiring.
Made some changes to the website to only include blog posts and exclude notes and pages.
Saw one of those mysterious drones and orbs!

Updated the connect page to match button styles and added social networking sites. Updated the post tag format. Added a blogroll page to indicate my favorite websites and blogs.
Moved the site navigation from the left side to the header. I also added a very light gray background color.
Replied to Court upholds a U.S. ban on TikTok by NPR:
It is looking likely that TikTok could be banned in the United States in a few weeks unless a new buyer is found. TikTok plans on appealing to the Supreme Court, but I do not see them reversing the decision. This could be the first social app banned in America.
Inspiration is all around us when you are able to let things be and focus on the present moment. Looking at work created by others is also a great way to bring out your own creativity. I am always seeking out projects by others to see how they did something. This allow me to create my own ideas when I am creating my own work.
Added buttons to the posts and about page to make it easier on mobile to navigate to different sections. Also added a wishlist link to the about section.
With the holiday season upon us, Square analyzed data from thousands of Christmas tree sellers in 2023 to find when the best time to buy a fresh tree.
Not surprisingly, the longer you wait and the closer it gets to Christmas, the cheaper the trees get. The most popular time to buy a tree is Black Friday with the second most popular being the first Saturday of December.

One of the things that makes me feel grounded is my morning coffee gazes. I love sipping my morning (or afternoon) coffee and watch nature from the kitchen window. Focusing on what is going on outside is a form of meditation and grounding. I find myself at ease and more peaceful and strive to do it on a regular and consistent basis

I am most grateful for starting new traditions and reflecting on the year. With winter approaching it is a natural time to go inward and do some self reflection. It is a period of rest, letting go of the past and setting new intentions.
This is the first post in my commitment to post a daily gratitude.
One of things I have subtly gotten away from in my spiritual practice is gratitude. Gratitude is a way to appreciate the things in your life. My commitment is to add these notes of gratitude on a daily basis and there is no better time then starting today.
Enjoying the Thanksgiving parade with family. 🦃
Added a note on posts on how to comment. Also added a back to top button to make it easier to scroll up to the top of the page.
This time of year is the perfect time to go through email newsletter subscriptions and unsubscribe from the ones no longer relevant.
There has been some much needed rain the last two days in the Capital Region. Was a refreshing change ☔️

Went up to visit Alexandra's family in Plattsburgh. This is a shot up Margaret Street from Norma J's. It brings back memories from when I went to college there.
There is this weird sense of fear and optimism ahead of the election next week. It is hard to explain.
Where did the year go? How is it nearly Christmas time already?
