Pumpkin Bread


This year has been a year of firsts, and many personal self discoveries.

Among other things, I went on my first day trip by myself, tried growing tomatoes, and have hung out at a bar alone.  It feels so good to learn and experience new things, no matter how small they may be.  I’ve really been trying to maintain a state of constant learning.  I used to think that learning always required my nose to be stuck in a book, but it can be done, not only through the act of trying new things, but also by simply paying attention to yourself.  I love that I learn something new about myself almost every day.

Now that the weather is turning chilly, I decided to try my hand at baking pumpkin bread.  I’m one of those people that will pin things to my Pinterest Recipes board, but never actually make them.  So, I took a stab at this one, and it turned out really well!  I’m actually going to make this for my family to eat while they’re over for Thanksgiving weekend.

Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...
