September is in full swing and I'm still attempting to step gracefully into life at home. As routine and school have slid into the days, I've felt a bit scattered. But, thankfully, beauty doesn't demand order. It's managed to smile into the hours and remind me that this month, this new season, is truly something to welcome. So now as I've caught my breath somewhat, I'm here to share the moments caught by my camera and try to let the blessings truly get caught by my heart.
Continuing my gratitude journal. . .
