Happy November, Modesto!
Sun sets a little earlier this evening in Downtown Modesto and Ms. M realizes that the time change is coming. Much like life, you have the choice to change how you see it, and time won’t wait for you to see it all differently. You might miss something if you aren’t paying attention. Anyhow, it’s that time of year where gratitude is what you make it. Being thankful is something people don’t often have or make space for. Do you and your wallet a favor by budgeting in a little gratitude by enjoying your community and loved ones. Here’s some ways to appreciate November in Modesto!
