Our November 2023 issue is full of gratitude. Our featured article explores Northern Regional Hospital’s impressive Rehabilitation Center. We are thankful for their staff and their offerings for our community. In our Lifestyle section, we go over techniques to combat overthinking in Fit Living, appreciate what we have in Just A Thought, think about what it means to be there for someone in Held, Thankfully, and discuss what we truly deserve in This Little Light of Mine. We look at delicious recipes of spoon bread and salted caramel apple cake in our Southern Taste Section. Lastly, we thank our farmers, hear from a thankful veterinarian, and learn gratitude from Traveler the horse in our Home, Farm, and Garden section. All this and more is found in our November 2023 issue.

Overthinking
Rachael Williams Fit Living When asked, I’m more than happy to share advice on nutrition, fitness, sleep, and recovery. Most of the time, everyone already knows the answers. We’ve heard them before. Many suggestions are so simple we don’t think they could be the real answer. There must be more. And it must be complicated.…
Held, Thankfully
Sheri Wren Haymore Author Recently, with Hurricane Idalia crashing Florida’s coast and aiming for the next three states, I realized that each of my two sisters would be right in its path. I sent a “take care of yourselves” text to them both. My sister Pat, in Southport, expressed hope that the storm would wear…
My Ship Never Came In
Eddie Lowe Just A Thought Have you ever heard someone say, “My ship never came in”? Centuries ago, wealthy merchants would invest in ships to bring spices, textiles, or other goods from far away. Months could pass as the merchants checked the docks, not knowing if their ship had sunk or been taken by pirates.…

Your Veterinarian Thanks You
Sarah Southard, DVM Pets and Livestock Thanksgiving is upon us. We have much to be thankful for in the United States, especially compared to many places around the world where conditions are much more difficult to navigate. Yet, while we know all the good things that fill our lives, we often get caught up acknowledging…

When I learned the theme for the November issue of Surry Living,…

Help me give thanks to the men and women we call “farmers” who spend their lives growing crops and raising livestock. Farmers make up a small percentage of…
A Change of Heart and Mind
Derina Pyles Horse Sense “Run, Seabiscuit! Run!” I yelled as I turned Traveler out into the pasture for the first time in a month. He had developed a nasty hoof abscess from the damp spring. Diligently treating it day after day is not the kind of glamorous life most people think comes with horse ownership.…

So Grateful
Carmen LongSimply Delicious “Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” I have a sign with this saying, credited to Aesop, displayed on my windowsill. The words are still as pertinent today as when written, and they remind me daily of my many blessings. During COVID, our Extension and Community Association (ECA) held a virtual spring…
Easy Salted Caramel Apple Cake
Rynn Hennings The Sweet and Savory Life What would fall be without apples and caramel? This easy salted caramel apple cake has chopped apples in the batter, is topped with homemade salted caramel, and has a sprinkling of chopped pecans. I love to mix tart and sweet apples in this dessert! Sometimes, I pair Granny…
