October is....

I am sure most everyone knows that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so wear a pink ribbon, donate to a charity, shop in places that donate portions of their proceeds.

I may get into more detail on some of these because some of them are very important to me and some of them are just plain fun. But, for now, just think about these, and if you decide to blog on any of them, feel free to post a link in the comments section of this post.

Happy October!!
