The "Blogging Circle of Friends " I am looking forward to November, because... Give us as many reason as you want about why you are looking forward to November. I am looking forward to November, because the Twin Holy Days will be celebrated in on November 9 and 10. These are my favorites because they celebrate the Birth of the Bab and the Birth of Baha'u'llah. Since 2015, these two Holy Days are celebrated on "the first and the second day following the occurrence of the eighth new moon after Naw-Rúz".3 This means that these celebrations fall on different day each year. Other days to remember in November are World Citizen Day The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" Write about the weather where you are. Looks like on the weather channel, there's quite a variance among us. It's a beautiful autumn day here in Las Vegas. The sun is shining through a few fluffy white clouds. The birds are singing, the people are play and making happy sounds. I don't hear any dogs barking or cat meowing, so they are probably happily sleeping, playing, or staring at their people. |

Write a list of 5 things you like/love about yourself! Five Things I Like About Myself This prompt is getting me out of my comfort zone, which is a good thing. I normally don't think about, or even list, the things about myself that I like. I think it has to do with leftover dogma from my childhood. I was taught, or picked up from the way other people talked and acted, that I wasn't supposed to consider the good things about myself. This may be part of my low self-esteem issues, which I still confront. |
