Time to Reflect -
I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already!! This Fall is just zooming by....I guess the more you enjoy life, the faster the time goes!! My goal this Fall is to try to get a blog post up at least once a week. Still working on that but knew I needed to update with what has been happening here.
The post is mostly a photo essay to share the beauty of the Fall - but to also reflect on the spirit of the season. Would love to see comments on how the Fall has been for so many of you and also what your reflections may be this season.
I have to say - we have had a GORGEOUS Fall! I know we have only lived here 3 years - but I don't remember the previous seasons to have so much color - both in the foliage and even with the skies! Beautiful reds, oranges, yellows and rich deep pinks and purples in the sunset and sunrises!
This past month has been sprinkled with working in Bordeaux and in the surrounding wine regions. I really feel spoiled to be able to not just enjoy the beauty here, but to be able to share it with our clients. This past Sunday, I did some guide training in the Medoc region and not only enjoyed the stunning architecture of these gorgeous chateaux, but I was also mesmerized by the colors!
Even back in Bordeaux, the blue sky, the beautiful leaves and the warm weather has been wonderful for one's perspective and outlook. I feel so grateful to live in a place like this - the beauty constantly reveals itself and the balance of the old with the modern makes it a wonderful place to live!
The girls have also enjoyed the outdoors this Fall - riding bikes to school, hanging out at outdoor cafes and just having fun together!
So on this Thanksgiving day - I feel so grateful for my girls, my family and my wonderful friends both near and far!! I also feel so blessed to have gotten to know so many of you in my virtual community (hopefully someday we will meet in person) - and I can honestly say - so many times your insights, messages, posts and kind words enrich my life in ways I can't even imagine!
It's a wonderful day to reflect on all that we have, all the people in our lives and the beauty that surrounds all of us!! So even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving - know that it's one holiday that just lets us pause, reflect and enjoy our lives with friends and family.
We will be celebrating our Thanksgiving meal on Saturday - sharing our table with Americans and French - looking forward to enjoying a special meal together!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
