Balanced, Blessed & Birthday-Bound — A Libra Season Crossword

Balanced, Blessed & Birthday-Bound

A Crossword for Libra Season

As we begin the month of October, which is the month of my birthday. I have decided that this month shall celebrate not only the day but the year. I am grateful to be turning Sweet Sixty, with my sign having entered the room, indicating that the scales are out and birthday season is officially underway. I don't do a day I celebrate the month. So this Friday’s Sip & Serve celebrates Libra energy, autumn reflection, gratitude, and a little Road to 60 sparkle.

Pour something good. Take your time. No rushing the scales.
