September looks like it’s starting out slow, but that’s fine by me, I’m learning to take it easy. I’m learning the journey is where it’s at. (Though, to be perfectly honest, I’m all about ‘getting there’.)
I’ve already got some stuff on the calendar for next week, but I’m curious to see what pops up.
I’m looking forward to spending more time with YBW as we move into Autumn.
Ready to make new so many new reasons to be grateful!

I love your idea of looking back and listing the things that made you feel grateful.
I think You do this daily but this was a good bye to summer without sadness type of action.
Thank you!
I do my best to pay attention each day. I don’t know of a more powerful way to consider my gratitude.
This summer needed a proper send off! It was chock full of joy and love.
I’m not sad to say goodbye to summer because I see the wonder!
I’m ready to see what the fall will bring. ❤
