WEEK IN RECAP

September has just flown by and quickly at that! I want to enjoy the ‘BER months so I’m going to do my best to slow October down!!

Tuesday and Thursday were spent getting a good friend to and from physical therapy, running her errands and trying to get caught up on her yard work and house maintenance.

Wednesday was a close friend’s birthday so we spent the day with her and many other friends celebrating first with lunch and then drinks that lingered into the evening. There was a ton of good food, great desserts and lots and lots and lots more laughter.

Friday I finally got caught up on some paperwork, but I am NOT finished with it… YET…

Saturday we went to a few Barn and yard sales, but only found a few things I couldn’t live without. Also got most of the grocery shopping done, at least until the end of the week.

Sunday… what can I say? Sunday started great and ended up super lazy! I watched football all day and did finish my book though 😀

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

It’s going to be another perfect fall week of temperatures in the 70’s during the day and 40’s at night. Perfect for me 😀

ON MY MIND

Prayers for all the people affected by the horrific hurricane Helene. The destruction caused to human life as well as the infrastructure of the south is unimaginable. I pray for help to arrive just as swiftly as the hurricane did.

Happy October! This whole year has been so fast. I do hope the last 3 months give us a bit of time. Fantastic life tip, so important. Nice fall weather here today but not sure about the entire week.

Glad you’re back my friend. I’ll do what I can to help SLOW them down so we can enjoy the end of the year! Hope your week was fantastic!

Yay for the best month of all! 🙂 Happy October dear Tamy.
Yes, I’m with you being intentional this month and letting it last.
I caught some of that Brilliant Minds the past couple weeks and it seems pretty good.
I need to get out and decorate outside and it’s a perfect 60* day today so hope to that done.
Blessings on your week ahead. xoxo
