September Thinking

 I remember a year ago. Meeting up with my dear sister at our favorite halfway point and catching up and eating at Panera. And then she surprises me with a card, in it asking me if I will be the Godmother of her baby boy- Isaac Miguel? I am filled with tears, gratitude and love. I am in awe since this is the 2nd time that she has asked me to be a Godparent- the first time with Ignacio Rafael who was born on my birthday in 2020 and passed 4 days later.  

Of course, I say yes and am filled with joy. I can't wait to meet this little one and pray for his safe development and growth and birth for the remainder of the months. And now he is 7 months old and adorable!

It's so interesting looking back a year ago. Yesterday, I was going through some WhatsApp group messages, and realized I still had some from the weddings. What a season that was starting out just last September with all the constant and continuous talk of wedding plans and details. A unique and special time, but for me also very difficult and hard at times. I'm actually kind of glad it is over, to be honest. But I grew a lot, it stretched me so much. 

 I love the month of September, and early on in the Fall season. It really is a favorite of mine! I'm going to try to think of some goals/ideas for this upcoming season. Something that I want to get back into is knitting! I wasn't inspired to knit in the summer as it was quite warm, but the cooler mornings and darker evenings are nice opportunities to slow down and cultivate a craft project. 

Speaking of craft projects, today I am going to work on a birthday gift for sweet niece, Elieen whose birthday is coming up this week. I had a special time dancing with her at both weddings, and she really enjoyed herself. She told my other niece, Mary and Mary told me-" Aunt Colleen is my favorite Aunt. I hope she never gets married." I couldn't help but laugh.
