How are you doing?

Have you noticed the tempo has picked up? 

And, there is an hour time change this coming Sunday morning.

Halloween, parties, shopping, events, Thanksgiving, Christmas, holidays ... all galloping towards us at an accelerated rate in my opinion. And my energy level is very much like my friend below.

Do you ever take "sloth" days?

I think they should be mandatory.

So I wish you love and peaceful rest 

in whatever you are dealing with today.

I'll be over here hanging from a tree.

During a fight, the female wolf stays close under the male, calm and unafraid. She trusts him completely and knows his strength will protect them both. Male wolves have a rule... they never hurt females, so she is safe by his side. But she isn’t just hiding... she is helping.

The neck is the weakest spot of the wolf, the place an enemy would aim for. She knows this, and she wraps herself around his neck, shielding him with her body. By doing so, she protects him from the enemy and shows that even in the middle of battle, loyalty and love run deeper than fear.
