The Beauty That Fall Brings
O ctober is always an exciting month in our household. In fact, the kids begin planning for October way before the month is here. By July, the kids are brainstorming costume ideas. When September arrives, there is no stopping the Halloween decorations from going up. That being said, I’ve already had an entire month’s worth of frights from finding fake spiders in our curtains when I go to pull the curtains shut. In the past, we’ve always filled our October weekends with fall activities — we ride on a spooky train at our local park, go to a corn maze, and pick out pumpkins to carve at a pumpkin patch. Of course, this October, life is a bit different due to the pandemic. At first,
we were bummed about how this October would not live up to the Octobers of the past. Then, as the days started to go by, we realized what has always made fall special to us is time spent together doing something unique during the season. I would love to share a few of our favorite fall activities that we can safely continue to do this year in hopes that you, too, can continue to enjoy this autumn season. 1. First things first, bring out all the autumn smells and savor them. We like to do this by cooking and baking. Just this week alone, we’ve made baked apples and sautéed cinnamon and maple apples. We also have plans to make apple cider on the stove, using cinnamon sticks
and whole cloves. It’s hard to feel anything but gratitude for autumn when surrounded by the delicious smell of cinnamon. And while we are talking about fall treats, let’s not forget the wonder of making s’mores by the fire on a chilly fall evening. 2. Bring out the crayons, markers, and colored pencils and try coloring Halloween or fall pictures. At my house, we particularly like to draw haunted houses. We’ve drawn haunted houses on a poster board using markers, and we’ve drawn haunted houses on our driveway with chalk. We like to make it as spooky as possible by including bats, ghosts, full moons, black cats, and witches on brooms. While I’ve never enjoyed going to haunted houses, I’m a big fan of drawing them and so is my family. We also have nearly completed an entire coloring book of monsters. We’ve spent hours doing this, and I anticipate more hours spent this way.
Our referrals continue to be one of the best ways clients find us, and we deeply appreciate it! for your trust and confidence. Thank you

Our law firm can’t provide legal assistance for every injured accident victim who calls and asks for our assistance. The law is too complex for lawyers to maintain competence in all areas of the law. Just like you wouldn’t want your family doctor to do your open-heart surgery, you wouldn’t want a lawyer who primarily handles motor vehicle accidents to handle your complex medical malpractice claim. Since we don’t accept all types of injury claims, we have a Referral Department at FSTN. We established our Referral Department several years ago. When we can’t accept a case, we will try to help injured victims find an excellent lawyer to assist them. We have done this all over the country for hundreds of injured victims. We have the advantage of having worked with a lot of different lawyers, and we are usually able to find a skilled attorney who
can review your case and determine how it should be handled.
For example, several months ago, we helped an out-of-state family find an attorney in a case in which their local hospital committed medical negligence in delivering their baby. The hospital claimed they weren’t at fault, but after a lot of hard work, the attorney we referred was able to prove the hospital was indeed at fault. The claim settled for almost $1 million. We felt good knowing this family got some justice for the damages the hospital inflicted. So, no matter where you live or what type of injury you have suffered, give us a call. If we can’t handle the case, we will try to find the right attorney for you. Our Referral Department manager is Krista Duzan, and she can be reached at (812) 231-5128.

3. Get your seasonal books and find a fun place to read. We have armfuls of seasonal fall books that we lug around with us everywhere. We like to find different places to read, and there’s something magical about reading fall stories on a blanket under a tree as the crisp breeze swirls the colorful leaves around us. 4. Put on your comfy shoes and clothes and go for a nature walk. In the last few years, my family has started the tradition of “hunting” for acorns. Last year, we loved finding tiny acorns. We had competitions searching for the smallest, most perfect acorn. This year, we took it a step further and learned that the acorns most likely to germinate are those that sink in water. Armed with that information, we went on several acorn hunts to find sinking acorns so we can try to grow an oak tree — or two.
5. Prepare your favorite fall treat and watch a movie. We tend to go for classics like “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” but if you’re into scary movies, that works, too! 6. Enjoy the beautiful leaves. Sometimes the leaves change and fall so quickly that I regret not taking more moments to soak them in. This year, we’re enjoying the leaves when we go on walks and bike rides in our neighborhood and car rides around town. If you haven’t gone on a walk simply to crunch the leaves, please don’t wait
you have kids, or are a kid at heart, raking leaves and jumping into them is also a fall favorite around here. 7. Lastly, to make Halloween night safe (but still fun), our family will go on a spooky Halloween search for Halloween treats in our own haunted house at home. We’re hoping to get a black light and some sound effects to make this a special Halloween to remember. We also will be making small treat bags to drop off at the front doors of our closest friends and family because we like handing out treats as much as we like collecting them! No matter what you do this fall season, I hope you are granted the time and ability to feel and see the beauty that fall brings.
any longer. If you see me on a jog and running in a zigzag, you’ve probably caught me going out of my way to crunch leaves. If

Blogging Through the Pandemic
The Power of Writing BLOG YOUR WAY THROUGH THE PANDEMIC
E veryone has faced trying times over the past few months. While many activities help get us through these challenges, blogging can be one of the most impactful. Writing enables you to express your feelings and experiences, and blogging allows you to share them with others. Here are a few reasons why starting a blog can be an important part of coping with the pandemic. Connect with your readers. At times, it can feel like you are alone in the world, especially now. However, your blog can reach people who feel the same as you or who have had similar experiences as you. Also, writing down your story will inspire other people, and they may even start their own blog. In this way, you not only help yourself and others, but you also spark change in their lives. Meet new people. In addition to encouraging others, you might find a community of like- minded people through sharing your blog. You never know — from new readers and followers, you might learn of support groups to provide additional insights to your experiences. You can also find empathy and provide support to others. An online community can help you feel less isolated due to the pandemic or provide support through other challenging aspects of your life.
Express your anxieties. Writing helps people cope with stressful experiences, and the pandemic has ushered a huge amount of uncertainty into their lives. Many people have felt afraid and anxious in the last eight months, and they continue to wonder what the future may hold. Your blog gives you a chance to express those fears and ease your stress. Harvard Medical School studies have shown that writing your thoughts down helps you organize ideas and even regulate emotions. With less on your mind, your body can relax.
Write out your experiences, no matter what situation you find yourself in. You will help other people and especially yourself.
