Who moved my August???

Okay, who moved my August?? How did 31 days get past me so quickly? This morning I turned my dachshund calendar over to September only to wonder how 31 days moved so swiftly. Each day is a God-given gift but I must admit that I squandered some of those days. I thanked the Lord this morning that the start of a new month brings a sense of renewal, of "beginning again" and of hope for improvement in the days ahead.

So what did August include? For a few starters let's say.....my mom's 74th birthday, my sister and brother-in-law's 15th wedding anniversary, my aunt's 75th birthday, a new computer program at work, the beginning of training classes for me and my dog, an opportunity to attend the local Super Saturday training conference, a few church-related meetings to host and attend and the everyday things of maintaining a home. Whew!

September's now here. Thirty days to fill with all the things God has prepared. It is my hope and prayer that I will be alert and ready to respond. There will be mistakes, missed opportunities, and some time wasted I am sure because I am not perfect. 30 days to enjoy and to see what God will do!! Hooray!

Sorry I missed the entire month of August in blogging--hopefully there will be more coming this month---

It's nice that this month is starting out with a holiday! Having a change of pace is great!

Happy September everyone!!
