September 2012 in Instagram

October 8, 2012 · Photos

September was a rough month. I can’t remember a time when I have been so happy to see a month end. Lots of unexpected bumps in the road. I’m putting a lot of pressure on October to really step up to the plate. Not just for me, but for others we know who are having a rough go of it.

Looking back over our Instagram photos for September, there were a lot of happy moments too. Scads of them. And that’s where I try to focus. On joy. Finding it. And remembering it. I have definitely embraced the Instagram madness, and I knew I’d love it from the start. I can’t wait to put together an Instagram album at the end of the year to reflect on all sorts of levels of joy.

Until then, here’s our September.

    You haven’t mentioned Mystic in a while. Is everything good there?

    Not meaning to be nosey, but you’re being pretty vague in why September was so bad, and we’re all concerned about you and your family. :)

      You are sweet to ask, and you’re right, I have been purposely vague. And no, things are not good. We are no longer together. I will write about it next week, but in the meantime, yes, my heart is very broken. Thank you for asking after us. :)

    You know, my September wasn’t all that – and I have high hopes for this month and the next. So good luck and good vibes to both of us :)
