It’s not yet Thanksgiving and we already had plowable snow!!!  This is great!!!  The changes in seasons is one of the reasons I would have a hard time ever leaving this region.  As it changes it reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of encouragement.

“No matter what the circumstances, you should never concede defeat. Never conclude that you’ve reached a dead end, that everything is finished. You possess a glorious future. And precisely because of that, you must persevere and study. Life is eternal. We need to focus on the two existences of the present and the future and not get caught up in the past. We must always have the spirit to begin anew ‘from this moment,’ to initiate a new struggle each day.” - Diasaku Ikeda
