In addition to being the first day of the month, it's also the first day of Advent. I grew up observing the Advent season at home. My holiday celebration is different now that I'm older and on my own, but I do still try to keep Advent in my heart and soul throughout December, regardless of how busy the month tends to be.

Happy Monday, friends! As you probably noticed, I took a pause from weekend reading this week in order to reflect on National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
