November Letter from the Editor

As the year continues to near its end and the world continues to be hectic, time feels as if it’s passing us all by. The holidays are a special time of the year, especially Thanksgiving, because they remind us to be present and thankful. And with so much negativity present, choosing to see the good and be thankful isn’t always easy. And, for some, the holidays aren’t a joyous occasion or a time to be appreciative. No matter your situation, time is, and will always, continue to pass, which is why it’s important to try and find the positives life has to offer. Our community is surely a positive and something to appreciate, for all of its ups and downs, because having a space you can come to for help, expression, and or relatability is an overlooked treasure. So, regardless of your feelings about the holidays, we can almost all agree on one thing, and that’s how special our community is, which includes the military community within our community! As someone from out of town, I can confidently say that the community within Enid is unique and special, and although it may have its moments, it’s something to be cherished. Keeping with the theme of being thankful, for this month’s Cover Story, we chose to highlight the military aspect of our community. In honor of Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving, we chose to spotlight some of the military history right here within Enid. As the holidays approach, like Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day, try to find something to appreciate or be thankful for, whether that’s our veterans, community, or the cooler temperatures, there’s something out there that’s made a positive impact on you in one way or another.
