I know it is coming...

I don't really have anything brilliant to say...The leaves are getting blown off our trees...And that means it won't be long until winter arrives...

There are some good things about winter: it's very pretty and snowstorms are exciting.
There are some not so good things about it too: it gets really cold and it lasts a long time.

What are your favorite things to do in the winter?

Out of the Darkness...Suicide Prevention Awareness

If you have ever been lost someone to suicide (and I hope you haven't) it effects all the people around the person who committed suicide.  You wonder what you could have done to have helped them, so they didn't think death was their only solution.  You worry that if you had paid more attention to the person maybe it would have made a difference.
