Rina's Ramblings - November 11, 2026

Hello Winter Texan Friends! I hope you haven’t gotten rained in too much and are still able to enjoy activities at your park, at neighboring parks, time with friends, or getting outside a bit.

I know it’s been wet, and some outdoor events were cancelled this past weekend, but hopefully we’ll dry up a bit and get to enjoy the outdoors in the nicer temperatures. At least for a few days before some more wet weather decides to come in. I say, take it while you can, the Valley needs the rain. Albeit, we can’t always handle too much at once, though.

November is a time of giving. I always say that this time of year. It’s also a time to be thankful for all the blessings you have received throughout the year… or what you are thankful for on the daily.

On the daily, I am thankful for my friends and family, and all the little bright spots that happen throughout my day. These bright spots can be something as simple as a nice word at the grocery store, someone texting me out of the blue just to say hi, or just knowing that things are going to be good.
