Ten Little Celebrations – September 2021
/Celebrating the waning of summer…the beginning of fall –
Brookside Gardens field trip. Spending a few hours at Brookside always results in at least one mini-celebrations. This month there were three: hummingbirds – bees – and roses.
New low weight for the year. With a whole month at home, I managed to control my diet….and achieved a low weight for the year --- 3 times (lower each time). I’m celebrating the achievement and working to continue the trend!
Easy flu shot. I celebrated how easy getting the flu shot was…no waiting, the pharmacy already having all my information. And now I’m as protected as I can be for my next road trip.
Macro photography. Celebrating images capture with my phone, a clip on lens and a clicker!
Melons. The season for melons was winding down but we celebrated 2 tasty cantaloupes from the Farmers Market in September.
Early morning in the grocery store. I enjoy grocery shopping….and celebrate that I have the store almost to myself…a low risk return to ‘normal.’
Volunteering. Returning to volunteer gigs – doing outdoor programs with students.. it’s another celebration of going back to a pre-pandemic ‘normal’ that isn’t quite the same but just as satisfying.
Beautiful weather. Sunny days…cooler…a little breeze – this is the time of year that it gets easier to celebrate a day outdoors.
Ferns under the deck. I celebrated that there were more of them than I expected this year!
French fries. I have been dieting so carefully….it was a celebration to have French fries (and cut back enough on other foods that day to not make it a “weight gain” day)!
