Happy October

{keep calm :: knits & coffee :: three day}

Happy October! Where has the year gone?! I love the month of October. You can make pumpkin flavored treats {without fearing that it is ‘too-soon’ to make them}, cooler weather is finally hanging around, and my personal favorite- it is breast cancer awareness month! Having lost a grandmother to breast cancer and having another grandmother who beat breast cancer, this cause is near and dear to my heart. And due to some recent scares in the family, in 2014 I am getting tested to see if I have the breast cancer gene.

This month reminds me to slow down. The cooler weather makes me want to cuddle up with a cup of coffee {might even give in & try a PSL} and some good company. Life is too short and too precious not to savor every moment. With Thanksgiving around the corner this is the perfect month to really begin focusing on your blessings. Choose to see your blessings.
