Sentimental September

The month of September has always been a favorite of mine. As a young child I eagerly anticipated my birthday, counting down the days and looking forward to a yummy cake! My precious Mama also had a September birthday (only a few days after mine) so that made the month even more special for our family. Now two of my three children have September birthdays, so I've joked over the years and commented that the month of September is "like Christmas in our family!" ~ Of course now that my children are all in their 20s, I find that I become sentimental during this month. I tend to "relive" memories in my mind--the excitement of their births, the fun birthday parties when they were very young, and all the happiness the month of September always seemed to bring. ~ Even though life is different now that I'm not planning childrens' parties or shopping for toys, September can still be a happy month as we celebrate each birthday with thankfulness. ~ And who knows....maybe one day I'll have a grandchild with a September birthday!

Hi sweet Susan!! Thanks for stopping by my Corner, and I had to smile at your question about my cat's birthday. To my knowledge, none of them were born in September, but I do know for certain that 3 (from the same litter) were born on "Leap Day" (February 29)! ~ Yes, I'm going to ACFW this year, and will miss seeing you there. But so glad you're planning on going to the next one! Hugs, Patti Jo :)
