That's What Christmas is all About, Charlie Brown!

Does it really take a cartoon to remind all of us what Christmas is all about? The famous Peanuts Christmas movie has brought warmth to all of our hearts for years and years. Yet some people still forget that Christmas is about giving and giving and giving, not just giving presents but love.

Sometimes giving love is hard. Family dynamics and differences may be difficult to deal with but for one night and one day they can be put aside to let the love shine thru. Traveling may be long but letting someone over could make all the difference in that persons holidays. Shopping can be a hassle but searching for the perfect gift will bring a smile to a friends face. There are a lot of way to show your love this season and all year long! How will you give yours?

A Taste of Fall

I woke up yesterday morning and Fall was in the air. Chaco had an unusual amount of energy on our 3 mile walk due to the brisk air and low humidity. I spent the day reading with all my windows open and fans turned on. I got the feeling like I was living on the west coast. It is still the middle of September here in Central Texas... it is not supposed to cool down until late October, early November. But the break from the hellish heat Texans know and love was welcomed. There was a more vibrant energy at work. My clients were ready and willing to do their cardio workouts outdoors!

I slept with my window open last night and actually had to pull up my other blanket for more warmth! That made me happy!

The change in seasons also brings a change is scenery on local department stores and boutiques. CHRISTMAS! Are you kidding me? a little drop in temperature and you are going to put out Christmas decor?? We haven't even gotten through Halloween yet. Did I miss Thanksgiving?
