What did I get up to in September? A Sentence a day September

It is September and we are in countdown mode for our trip to Spain next month.

I started the challenge of writing a sentence a day back in April and also continued in May and June.  If you missed my posts for the last few months you can read them here  A sentence a day

On the first week of each month, we link our posts up and can read what everyone has been up to.

In September  my theme for the blog is ‘This time next year’ and is all about putting into place strategies to achieve your goals, dreams and to thrive.  That means writing about not only my own aspirations, but introducing guest writers with their thoughts.

Writing a sentence a day for a month is short and sweet but can be a pertinent reminder of all the good things and perhaps not so good things that happen in life.  This is my sixth month and it is really like keeping a diary.  I just love the idea.

A sentence a day for September 2017

September 1 – It is Spring in Australia, and after kindy drop off enjoyed a belated birthday lunch with friends.

September 2 –  Run with my Saturday Sister and then made a delicious slow cooked lamb shanks in red wine for dinner.

September 3 – Relaxing day at home and caught up on some blogging posts plus finally booked all of our accommodation for our trip to Spain and Italy next month.

September 4 –  Liptember (read my post here) is an initiative focusing on Women’s Mental Health for the month of September.  So I purchased my lipstick as my contribution and posted to Instagram during the month.  At least I can laugh at myself for a good cause.

September 5 – Kindy drop off and spent a lovely couple of hours catching up with my daughter who has been in Hong Kong on business.  Finished the day with a run around the City with one of my Saturday Sisters.

So that was my month in a sentence a day.  I hope you enjoyed reading what I got up to this month.

What has October in store for me?  We will be enjoying a wonderful holiday together visiting London, Portugal, Spain and Italy.  I’m excited!!

Why not try this challenge for October?  It is surprising what you might write over the course of the month and it is fun reading.  You can then link up and read other posts from those taking the challenge.

Let’s Keep Sizzling!
