30 Things I am Grateful for September 2021

September begins the best part of the year. I love September - January. You start to see/feel a light at the end of the heat tunnel in Florida, or maybe the pumpkin spice just helps you forget it’s almost 100 degrees. Spooky season begins, pumpkins are everywhere, all the hygge things I love feel reasonable when you get below 90 degrees. It’s glorious.

I have been changing depression/anxiety meds over the last few weeks and that transition will continue into October, so even though I am so extremely grateful to be on the path to better mental health and being out of August, it’s still been a rough start to my favorite time of year. I hope you enjoyed this transitional month of September, and are ready to get pump(kin)ed up in October
