It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving. First order of business…. Did you put the Turkey in the refrigerator to defrost? Better check that. Today is a big grocery shopping day for me. I already bought most of it, but I had to hold off on the more perishable items like the fresh herbs until today. Thankfully I do have some in the garden, so that isn’t too much of a worry. I am feeling a bit of anxiety about the whipped cream situation at the store. You can’t have pumpkin pie without whipped cream. The whole dinner will be RUINED without the whipped cream. That aside I think I am going to try to relearn the clarinet. Random, I know, but I think it would be great fun to play a Christmas duet with my youngest baby basset who is learning the trombone this year in school. I saw a squirrel the other day running down the sidewalk on my street. I have never seen a squirrel in my neighborhood before. I am in love. This mess of thoughts is just who I am going to be until I get that whipped cream situation under control. Four cans should do it.
Dead Love: A Ghost Paranormal Romance
by Rami Rosenblum

I never imagined being dead would feel so alive…
Some people just refuse accept death. But death has its own benefits. It grants some abilities that living persons do not have. I am a case in point. My life was abruptly truncated at an early age and now I am ready to do anything to reunite with my love, who is still alive. But this union is almost impossible. Almost.
Everything changed when I found a unique way to feel alive again. It feels so tangible that sometimes I forget that I’m dead. But as time goes by, I realize that my personal goal, as important as it is to me, still hurts others.
And now I face the biggest dilemma of all: should I continue to look after myself or is it time to think about the common good?

Hygge and Lagom: The Ultimate Guide to Scandinavian Ways of Living a Balanced Life Filled with Coziness and Happiness
by Barbara Hayden

Cravings for comfort, for coziness, for contentment: everyone experiences the desire for a happier, less stressful, and more serene life.
Hygge, the Danish-born philosophy, is one proven way to achieve such a life. From the Old Norse for “well-being,” hygge embodies a philosophy that is as much a mindset as it is a way of life.
Specific activities are designed to encourage you to cultivate togetherness and joy at the smallest and simplest things in everyday life.

• How to achieve household harmony without sacrificing friends and self-care
