So...I'm going to post September's gifts. And I think that technically, if I was going to do 1000 gifts in a year that I should be hitting 1000 right now.
But...I'm not.
You may have also noticed that my gifts posts aren't so pretty anymore...there being no pictures and all. It's not that pictures don't exist...it's just that I've gotten lazy about blogging in general so that means that I've gotten lazy about putting pictures up along with the gifts I've listed.
In fact, being lazy is probably why this list isn't going to hit 1000 in one year either.
And it's not that I've been lazy about being thankful to God for all these wonderful - and maybe not so wonderful - things in my life, because I have been! In fact, I've been super thankful. I've just been taking so much time to actually live in the moment! I think that has been one of the best things about this project - it has helped teach me how to be more present in my everyday life. And that is one thing that I'm very, very thankful for!
So here it is...my sort of short list of gifts for September:
