Never forget.

Today and every day I remember and pray for our great country and all the people whose lives have been affected by the September 11th attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect our freedom and safety.

We will never forget.

Looking forward.

Happy September! 

I hope your month started off with a fabulous long weekend. I really wanted to get out of town, but we had a nice long weekend at home. It was a weekend of snuggling and laughing and relaxing and creating. Last night we took a long walk around the neighborhood and spotted a double rainbow. I felt like the guy in this video, but it was really unbelievably beautiful and really went all the way across the sky. And it was while the sun was setting so the sky was all purply and pink. I wish I took a video. I've never seen anything like it, not even when we lived in the Rainbow State of Hawaii!

 

I'll take it as a sign that September is going to be a good month.

I'm so happy September is here. September 1st, to me anyway, signals the first day of fall (even though it was literally 100 degrees and more humid than I've EVER felt it in SoCal today). I'm looking forward to lots of fall activities and escaping to somewhere where the leaves change colors. And when the seasons change, I always feel a renewed sense of spirit, creativity, and optimism.  But I especially feel that way with fall. I think it's the New England girl in me.
