September? I love it! Love it!!
Every September represents a new beginning for me. The kids go back to school, the hot, humid days grow cooler, and visions of new projects, fall colors, cozy sweaters, and hot tea come to mind.
I already cleaned off my desk, organized my office, and emptied my bulletin board. Like I said, September is all about renewal in my world!
All month this song runs through my head. It's a goodie!
When Earth, Wind & Fire start playing, I feel like dancing! Oh, yeah!
We're celebrating a few birthdays this month (including mine, gulp!). I'll be shuttling my kids to sports events every weekend. College football pre-shows dominate Saturday mornings in anticipation of the afternoon games. And I love it!
Apples will be picked. Roasts will slow cook. Shorts will be packed away.
The thing I'm looking forward to most this September, though, is heading to ACFW's annual conference. It's the only time I see the majority of my writer friends, and I plan on smooshing every bit of fun into the four days as possible. Yes, I'll take lots of pictures. When I get back, I'll share my embarrassing moments--they're inevitable in my world--and anything else you might be interested in.
How do you feel about September? Love it? Hate it? Why?
Have a wonderful day!
September is my faaaaavorite month of the entire year. I love it SO much. As a kid, I loved back-to-school time...not so much because I loved school but because I loved getting new school supplies. Hehehe...today I love it because of things like pumpkin spice lattes and apple orchards and crisp mornings and ACFW and my birthday...and my very first book release. Yeah, it's kind of a magical month this time around. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you soon, Jill!!!
Happy birthday and happy first book release!! Woo-hoo!! I love all you mentioned too! Can't wait to give you a big hug!!
DeleteLOVE September - and not just because it's my birthday month. I love the beginning of fall, the return of football and my childhood memories of going to the apple orchard. And now I love it also because it's back to school month - my schedule has returned!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing as delightful as a return to a writing schedule! It's wonderful! Happy birthday to you, too!
DeletePS: Melissa: happy book birth month!!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE fall...after I get over pouting that summer is over that is:)
ReplyDeleteEarth, Wind and Fire, eh? LOL. Thanks for the morning boost. Yep, it's football and soup time. Cuddling with blankets and watching the leaves change color. Sending my kids out to rake them all up...yep, good times!
Yeah, I pout at the end of summer too. Summer is so short here to begin with--I want it to last! Take lots of pics of your kids raking those leaves. :)
DeleteI'll miss the hazy, hot, and humid days. Is it July, yet?
ReplyDeleteHot and hazy, yes! Humid--I'm over it! Ugh!! But July has a firm place in my heart, Ceejay!
DeleteIt's still really hot here in September, so it doesn't usually feel all that different from August. LOL! But October definitely signals fall to me. September is actually kind of a hard month since it's when my mom passed away. But since I started attending ACFW, it gives me something great to look forward to! Can't wait to see you NEXT WEEK!!
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs to get through the anniversary of your mom's passing. I'm glad September has some joy in it for you. I feel the same--ACFW is a highlight! Can't wait to see you!!
