The Ten Best Things About This October

10 Best Things About October

October is arguable the loveliest month of the year here in Northeast Oklahoma. And as we bid farewell to this beautiful month, here are ten of the best things about this particular October.

  • Monarch Butterflies
  • Beautiful weather
  • Glorious light
  • Sleeping with the bedroom window cracked open
  • Sweet and crunchy Honeycrisp apples
  • Daisy’s eyelid healing up quickly
  • Spending time with my girl
  • Watching This Is Us
  • Leaves changing colors
  • Good red wine

How about you? What the best thing about October in your neck of the woods?

Happy Monday friends!

Love, Kelly

    I Love that you listed such simple things. I’ve been having a horrible struggle with depression and chronic pain, and when I saw your headline I groaned to myself and thought Aw, geez, another happy person with a wonderful life sharing all of the great things that happened this month. But these sweet and special little things are the sort of things I keep on my own gratitude list! I’m going to include my own list today…with a link back to yours, which I hope is okay! Thanks friend for the inspiration 🙂

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
