November: Things That Are Getting Me Through

1.) Schitt's Creek

Where has this show been hiding... I guess on Netflix. I am more of a Hulu girl. Anyway, this show made me laugh until I cried so many times. I demanded that Tyler watch it too so that he could start *getting* all of my jokes, references, and quotes. He kindly did and liked it as much as me. I even bought myself a shirt. That is love.

2.) Sweet's Orange Sticks

These are some of my very favorite candies. My Grandma and Grandpa McKinnon used to bring these to Thanksgiving and would also give them to us on Christmas. They are the taste of the holidays for me and I have eaten more than I care to admit just in the month of November. Yikes.

3.) The Crown

It's back!! I love this show!

4.) Candles

There is something so soothing and meditative about lighting and burning candles. I especially love candles with a wood wick. They appeal to my ASMR loving heart. Crackling is my favorite ASMR sound...especially wood crackling. I've got goose bumps just typing that. Isn't ASMR weird but cool?

Lighting candles in the morning and at different times throughout the day during this stressful month was very calming to me. The flame, smell, sounds...all are soothing to my soul. I've always loved churches where you can go and light a candle for someone. I wish that my church had that practice. Maybe subconsciously I am doing it myself, at my own house, in stressful seasons of life.

5.) Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is the king of pies. Enough said.
