Give Thanks … for Saturday Nights!
Happy
UN-Birthday November 39ers! ♪ And many more… ♪ Welcome
to the month of Gratitude. Whether you gather with family or a family of
friends, this month brings a message of thanks, in deed and heart. Carry it
with you throughout Holidays. In keeping with your Thanksgiving meal, whether
solo or in boisterous festivity, please allow me to offer a little food for
thought …
How
often do you say Thank You, in a day? If you answer never, or rarely,
it’s time to step up your gratitude game. November not only hosts
Thanksgiving Day, but is designated the month to count your blessings and give
thanks. Many charities count on this month for your generosity. Give, if
possible, but most of all, give thought to gratitude throughout your everyday
life.
֎ Celebrating NOVEMBER 39ers ~ And
More!
As
we float into the Holidays, the aura of festivity is palpable. Especially for
our November UN-birthday 39ers … the party is underway!
NOVEMBER’S 39er St¶rs of the
Sky
Let’s begin with a few words from the stars for us all … As usual for this time
of year, we tend to reconnect with elusive family, friendships, and
professional ties. Shifting priorities to look toward the New Year is
unavoidable.
As you restructure, repair and
simplify, all Zodiac signs are urged to honor the Season and guide your changes
with poise and kindness. By month’s end, we’ll all feel the difference in
restored intentions to move forward with implementation in December, refreshed!
For
Scorpio (10/23 –
11/21) and Sagittarius (11/22 –
12/21) the process may be a little more intense.
Let’s take Scorpio first …
your November repositioning may help you and a key person finally see
eye-to-eye, if you keep things simple and logical. With November 20th’s
New Moon, your earlier shifts of restructure, repair and simplify, apply
not just outwardly, but create a new, magnetic you. Promises and honesty
matter, whether you’re in Scorpio’s early level of the Scorpion, secondary
Eagle, or evolved Phoenix. Use your new power wisely.
The
Zodiac flips on November 22nd and Sagittarius takes over
the skies. For you, m’dear Archer, it’s all about details! We know “the devil’s
in the details,” and you’re not about to let the devil get the best of you. Managing
details come easily for you. As with the rest of us, reconnecting and
restructuring is key to your augmented, year-end way of life. This month, as
you shed prior encumbrances and reinvigorate those important to you, shoot for
the bullseye and let your soul be your guide.
♪ NOVEMBER
Vintage Song of Note ♪
For many, Thanksgiving is a time to connect with family or a family of friends,
for much-needed communal R&R. Sure, “rest and relaxation” … but don’t
forget the other R&R … Rock & Roll!
This month’s vintage Song of
Note will remind you to have patience as you roll your eyes and try not to
listen to the family gossip. It’ll soon be another “Saturday
Night”!
The Bay City Rollers knew the
value of a good ol’ Pop Rock tune and theirs was bubbling under on November 7,
1975 when KERN/Bakersfield CA radio music survey posted it as “New.” The
Scottish band originally released it in 1973, but it failed to chart. Taking
another chance on the bouncy tune, they re-recorded it for a 1975 release and
it went on to become their sole #1 hit in the U.S. Ready for more tuneful vintage tidbits? Manifest your memories and keep the
Rock Rockin’ from 50 Years Ago
this Month!
֎ More NOVEMBER Fun for
Everyone
By the time this article is fully posted (11/11/25), some days are done and
gone, but still worth a mention, while we move on to more Fall fun.
Sunday
~ November 2nd: Have you recuperated from the time change yet?
It may take the whole rest of the month to manage our lives through the
transition—but you will get used to it—about the time it’s time
to change it back!
Wednesday ~ November 5th: I hope you
caught at least a glimpse of November’s biggest, fullest Full Moon Magic of the
year! The Full Beaver Moon knows how to shine, and it did, with a twinkle for
good luck. Its effects will carry you through the month as you reconnect,
review, and re-establish the rest of your year.
Friday
~ November 14th: Get ready to hug … it’s National
American Teddy Bear Day! Who doesn’t love a cute Teddy Bear? But do you know why
they’re called “Teddy” Bears? The story has been endearing to generations of
Americans since 1902. I’ll give you a hint as you click on the sponsor link …
it has to do with our 26th President Theodore Roosevelt and his
penchant for hunting. Enjoy while you hug your Teddy Bear.
Thursday
~ November 20th: Harness the power of the earlier
Full Moon to this month’s New Moon Musings and celebrate the month’s New
Beginnings! 39ers have learned by now the regenerative power of New
Beginnings … they can happen at any moment, whether planned or not. How we deal
with them is the key to moving forward.
Thursday
~ November 27th: Yes, there are other reasons to
celebrate Thanksgiving
Day
this year. It just so happens today is Slinky Day! The
sponsor link is a tad outdated but the fun details are there. Enjoy a couple
other links to further explain why even some of you 39ers may not know what
a Slinky is or why
we “elders” have fond memories of it. Oh, don’t get me wrong … it isn’t a
“has-been” toy! The Slinky is still sold in
stores—it
just isn’t as big a deal as when it took over the toy world so many years ago.
Thursday ~ November 27th: Take a
seat, bless this mess, and let’s all eat! Thanksgiving Day has
arrived! Whether you're solo or enveloped by a horde, enjoy your blessings and
chow down on your savory Thanksgiving Day dinner!
֎ Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
Savvy 39ers know, a
month or day of Gratitude is not just a Holiday platitude. It’s a way of
life.

And dear readers, I just want you to know that I try
my best to create an informative, aesthetically creative article for you each
month. However, Blogger is not a professional hosting site—but they’re free
through Google. So we’re stuck with their crummy platform that doesn’t work
well to manipulate images with writing, especially if you aren’t a techie who
knows HTML. Trust me, I’ve tried for years to write articles without gaps
between paragraphs and even between sentences. Sigh. Maybe I’ll win the lottery
and be able to afford a professional hosting site someday.
