We truly do not know what we have until it is gone. For that reason, on these special holidays we must sincerely appreciate everything which makes up the world around us. I was fortunate to have two of my three brothers with their families join us for Thanksgiving along with my niece and three nephews.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving I traveled to Clinton to assist at the Symphony of Lights 5K. Saturday night was a chilly night but that didn't stop the 210 runners from coming out! Congratulations to all of the winners. What a great way to ring in the holidays!
On December 3, I along with the Miss Clinton County Board volunteered at the Symphony of Lights gate. We had a blast and I even got to see the lights afterward! Who doesn't love jamming to Christmas music and seeing gorgeous lights. Thank you to the Symphony of Lights board for a fantastic job!!
As I head into finals week, I realize the importance of taking "me" time. I encourage you to take one hour at least this next week to something you enjoy that you wouldn't normally do. Challenge yourself, relax, and have fun. Be your own inspiration.
