OTHER NEWS:
2021 elections happened the other week and there were some tight races and some outcomes that left us disappointed. Remember that voting is not a once every 4-year type of thing. Every election matters. While the election was at the beginning of November, there are still many ways to stay involved in your community to help bring the change we all want to see. Remember, we can only do as much as one person can do.
HOW IS IT NOVEMBER?! This year is flying by on a jet plane and I can't believe we are nearing the end of '21 sooooo soon. Keep finding ways to get outside and get that sun since we turned back the clocks. Having the sun on you helps the mood (for me at least). Winter is on the way but we can find ways to make this winter a warm, fun winter.
Thank you for reading this and if this brought a smile to your day, feel free to forward it on and spread the cheer! Don't forget the impact a little kindness can have. It can create lots of change!
'Til next time,
...alex is out

Alex's Book Corner
I am currently reading:
Cassandra at the Wedding by Deborah Eisenberg
What I have read these past few weeks:
Stumbling Upon Happiness by Daniel Gilbert
This book was very interesting and allowed me to think about a lot of life in a new way. It was a little existential but, I appreciated it a lot. Would def recommend (4 stars)
