Howdy, Friends!

Hello, all my good friends!

I hope you all are doing well with many things to be grateful for!

I've been having a great summer.  While I have still been working some ot, I've cut back some for the summer months.  I didn't want to look back and wonder where all the time went.

I've done some fun things, including going on a 27 mile bike ride, family get togethers, and seeing Potter Fest in Volant, Pa.  Potter Fest was semi fun, semi volunteer for work.  My sister asked me if I could help her take a couple of our clients there, she wouldn't be able to by herself.  I of course said yes.  That was a fun day, but I did tell her that next year we are just going to go so that we can experience everything that they have.  If you are a Harry Potter fan, I definitely recommend going to check it out.  The town goes all out for this event.  

One of the things that I am looking forward to in the next month or so is biking the Ghost Town Trail with my brother.  This is somewhere around 30 ish miles long, from Ebensburg, PA to Blacklick, PA.  We are starting at the top and heading down.  This won't be a round trip, I don't think either one of us would be able to go back up the mountains at that point, hahahaha.  We might try to time it with the leaves changing, that will be a pretty sight in the fall.

And, of course, I'm also looking forward to seeing Taylor Swift at the beginning of November.  That will be a dream come true for me and my niece.

On a different note, I'm trying to be on social media less and less.  While I wouldn't not check it out (I like to see family and friends updates), I'm tried of the negativity on several platforms.  I like to fill my day with as many positive things as I can, and the negative energy I see is not helping that.  What I would like to do is share more of my own positive thoughts as much as I can and spread out good energy.  I'm hoping that you will join me.  And this is in both real life and social media.

One thing I am grateful for today, getting to go for a 2 mile jog this morning.  The air was still a tad bit on the chilly side, so I didn't get too hot and sweaty.  

I hope you all have a beautiful day!
