Here and there. -Life, thoughts, and more.



It's amazing how fast time has flown by this year. The cold weather is settling in, and we must wrap up warmly as our children go out trick-or-treating tonight. Last week we attended a neighborhood trunk or treat, but my husband wasn't happy about the long queues, so we had to rush. Tonight, we're hoping to move quickly as our two trick-or-treaters make their rounds. I've had to keep the heat on all day due to the cold weather. What's the weather like where you are? We've finally almost completed the roof repair after the big hailstorm a few months ago, although it took longer than anticipated.

My brother recently took the Ancestry DNA test, and we were surprised by the results. We have a wide range of ethnicities besides Asian, which is wonderful to discover. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I can't wait to share the wonderful experience of preparing the food with some wonderful helpers. This year, I'm particularly grateful for my wonderful family. We've been through a lot together, both good and bad, and it's made us stronger and wiser. I've learned to cherish every moment of life because every moment builds on the next, and with each moment, we make new memories.

Have you thought about what you're most thankful for this year? I've challenged myself this year to eat healthier, work out daily, and live in the moment. So far, I've managed to keep up with this challenge. Overall, I want to be a better person in both my physical and mental well-being. Have you set yourself any goals this year?

I'm grateful to all my wonderful readers for their continued support. Thank you. May your days be filled with love, joy, and happiness. If you're going through a tough time, remember that there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Happy Halloween to all!

♡ Stephanie
